Envy
Envy is one of the most degrading and
vicious feelings. Among the Cardinal Sins in religion, it is the only one that
doesn’t reward with any sort of pleasure. Being culturally a shameful emotion,
Envy grows and eats you silently from the inside. This piece tries to explore
these internal affects; the heartbeat of the performer is amplified in real time,
mimicking or recalling the moment when envy arises in a person. The violin
fluctuates among the obscure feelings caused by envy, and the aim to ignore
them.
