Nour Mobarak
's
Dafne Phono
is an adaptation of the first opera,
Dafne
, composed and written by
Jacopo Peri
and
Ottavio Rinuccini
in 1598. Drawing on the myth of Daphne and Apollo from
Ovid
's
Metamorphoses
-- a story of unrequited love, patriarchal possession, conquest, and transformation -- Mobarak's multimedia and multispecies reimagining splinters the opera's Italian libretto. Alongside English and Greek versions, it is translated into some of the world's most phonetically complex languages -- Abkhaz, San Juan Quiahije Eastern Chatino, Silbo Gomero, and !Xoon. In this process, the narrative -- and an artifact of Western culture -- is dismantled, metabolized, and rendered into unruly utterances that shape the sensorium as much as they do the capacity for sense-making. These voices are given material form by a cast of mycelium sonic sculptures whose rhizomatic compositions and broadcasted recordings resemble the formation and mutation of language over time, reconstituting speech into a new, polyphonic body politic, composed of voices whose striking, poetic utterances transfix and transcend meaning. The A-Side of the record presents a stereo version of Mobarak's 15-channel sound installation,
Dafne Phono
. The B-Side uses a recording of a portion of the translation process the libretto underwent in Namibia, live-processed by the artist.
Dafne Phono
is released in tandem with a book of the same name, published by Wendy's Subway.
