Tutuguri is the final part of the sound piece To Have Done With the Judgment of God, performed by Antonin Artaud for radio in 1947. Artaud delivers his poetry like a ritual, in which the language, more than significant, expands and takes on a performative and incantatory character. This transformative movement from meaning to sensation is what Flora Détraz’s focuses on, proposing a dissynchronicity between micro-movements and sounds, some which escape, others which lend themselves to the relationship with the gesture. In this game of perception, the body is “inhabited by whispers, animal growls, children’s noises, alien sounds, conversations and spasms”, which confuse it and expand to other dimensions. Tutuguri is preceded by a prologue, Gesächt, which explores the codes of representation through the figure of an opera singer, a decadent diva.
