Schaufenster: The Listening Protocol
kollektiv iиterиatioиal totem was invited to develop a new work for the sonic architecture «SCHAUFENSTER» and its eponymous project series by Dimitri de Perrot / Studio DdP.
«SCHAUFENSTER #3: The Listening Protocol» is a sound-based performance for three performers inside an multi-channel transducer system — or, more simply, three people trying to have group therapy sessions.
«The Listening Protocol» transforms the «SCHAUFENSTER» structure into a speculative head: a resonant skull in which voice, machine noise, and subconscious thought attempt to understand each other. Through controlled vibrations, text fragments, and neural sound modulations, the performers enact an unlicensed therapy of listening to their own minds. Structured in different sessions — the piece explores the practice of radical honesty, the fiction of care, and the sonic materiality of thinking.
The audience encounters the box as an interface — a surface through which thoughts, impulses, and unconscious leaks become faintly audible. Whilst the audience perceive the full score — the performers get only traces and tremors of their minds that remain out of reach. Speech becomes frequency, frequency becomes a kind of thought, and somewhere between them, one forgets who was supposed to be the therapist.
