'inconTro di boxe' 21/04/2021 Hall of Fame Street Park

The current Tilburg City Poet A.H.J. Dautzenberg recently challenged Jan Doms to create a work of art based on his City Poem XX, consisting solely of a poetic composition with the letter T of Tilburg, used upside down.
Doms decided to fight the letter poem and developed with his team the multidisciplinary performance inconTro di boxe. 

This Italian title refers to boxing match or street fight. Jan Doms therefore designed the letter T in spring band steel on the shell of a punching bag that is used in boxing training. He asked the drummer Ries Doms, who in addition to playing drums, is also in boxing training, to perform the performance.

 

Ernst Bonis, electronic musician, with whom Jan Doms has been experimenting with steel, glass and electronics since the late 1970s, designed and built in collaboration with Joris Bonis, two generative sound synthesis circuits for interactive audio for this performance, with which the movements of the boxer and the dynamic spring steel object are converted into sound and 'music'.

 

On April 21, 2021, the performance will take place at 8:30 PM in the Hall of Fame in Ladybird Street Park in Tilburg.
