The pure creative process is at the core of the emanci pation to which the contemporary music interpreter can aspire to redeem he rself/himself from the standard position of a mere executor of someone els e’s music.This case study was expressly designed to test the risk of exp osing a singer to the challenge of pure creation and to collaborating with another artist\, dancer Valentina Sechi\, using no score or charts to bui ld a composition based on only two elements: voice and body."Red Carpet" i s a performance that\, spanning the present and the past\, investigates fo rms of exorcising repression in the feminine\, understood as a collective archetype that has always had to devise ways to manifest itself and surviv e in its essence. On the "Red Carpet"\, images of women\, two yet numerous \, parade\, embodying\, through multiple vocal techniques and bodily utter ances\, the cries of a “collective trauma” that suffocates the express ion of the self. \; \; \; \;Body and voice are the protago nists\, symbols of both censorship and expression par excellence\, and ser ve as a means of individual exploration and collective voicing. On this re d carpet\, a metaphor for formal public exposure\, the singer tries to giv e voice to those told to remain silent\, and the dancer to give substance to catharsis\, in a succession of anarchic fragilities and ferocious desir es to survive. \;About the artists \;Felicita Brusoni started maki ng weird sounds with her voice from the very beginning of her life: her ba by babbling was already insanely virtuosic.
