Three instalments of 'Indirect Language', a translation for radio, by Cally Spooner.
Read by Dulcie Joslyn, Dominic Rouse, Will Holder, Cally Spooner, Philomene Pirecki and others.
Cally Spooner's current project is an evolving translation of Merleau Ponty's 'Indirect Language and the Voices of Silence' (1952) for radio. The project diassembles Ponty's original text on speech, history and cultural expression into 8-parts, numerous re-edits, dialogue , stage directions , dramatisation and a non-chronological order. 'Indirect Language' began in june 2010, with the first instalment (act 5) having been written for ‘Une Exposition (du) Sensible’, curated by Mathieu Copeland, at the Synagogue Du Delme.
At 4 pm on the 25th of September, three newly written installments will be read and recorded for radio, after open rehearsals at MOT from the 11-25 of September.
Cally Spooner’s performance/production work uses broadcasting, dramatisation, live events and writing to explore how subjects and material can be restaged, translated and kept in flux, in the present. She has recently produced new work or presented existing work for CHELSEA Space; Resonance fm; Neue Alte Bruuke gallery, Frankfurt; and the Whitechapel Art Gallery.
