Miha Erman:ROOM WITH NO ECHO

The performance both explores and defines embodiment as a process of complete identity erasure. The sound-corporeal performative serves the purpose of skin tracing, which itself also includes whatever lies beneath.

Anechoic chamber is a space where the melting with the corporeal takes place, a space where there is no Other: it results in an abjected, antisocial and pure body. It is a room with no echo, a room where all communication is expelled, leaving a subject (a person) objectified to an extreme point – he meets his own mother and her function. He returns to his organic being with no possibility of encounter with the environment.

Anechoic chamber is a content-reducing structure. A person would normally be unable to stay in it for a longer time. The symptoms to appear are irrational fear, panic and strong insecurity. The performance experimentally explores possible interpretations of experiences and states of mind.
