Doctoral ProjectTitleMigrating to the origin: bird-becoming and musical performance through an interpretation of the Catalogue d'oiseaux de MessiaenAdvisorCo-AdvisorThis project consists of an innovative interpretation of the solo piano work Catalogue d’oiseaux by the French composer Olivier Messiaen. The work is modified searching for an approach to the birdsongs that appear cited in it, also performing an interdisciplinary performance in cooperation with a theater actress where the intrinsic narrative of the prefaces of each piece will be visualized. This performance will include a message of environmental awareness - extrinsic to this musical work, but justifying this change of the interpretative perspective - born of my concern about the disappearance of avian species and changes in their migration routes, consequences of the overexploitation of natural resources for the human being. The pianist will make an approach to the birdsongs that originated this work by performing at the artistic practice the becoming-bird, and also using the cahiers of notations of birdsongs transcriptions by Olivier Messiaen. The prefaces of each movement of the work will be transmitted in the performance giving rise to an unconventional and interdisciplinary concert format.Research Group: Creation, Performance and Artistic Research
