Presentación estética

Escrita por iniciativa del compositor y director de orquesta José Ramón Encinar, "Senderos de la risa" representa la continuación del trabajo iniciado por Juanjo Eslava con "Skin’s Traces" (para pandero y electrónica), "Sen no aida" (para koto solo) y "L'Oeil" (para cuarteto de saxofones y electrónica) en torno al gesto musical y su relación con la escritura.
En esta ocasión, se aborda el caso particular del gesto de la risa en tanto que signo pre-semántico, explorando su energía interna, sus irregularidades, sus inflexiones, y fundamentando la escritura en el análisis de sus valores cinéticos e inestables: se trata de presentar las "tripas" del interior de la(s) risa(s), su(s) morfología(s), el quiebre que muestre algún atisbo de los múltiples senderos de sentidos inestables, transitorios, que en una especie de tejido como red neuronal, abren una presencia del vacio o silencio de soledad o constelación compartida… senderos del olvido, del deseo… de la risa.
A través de fragmentos de textos de Georges Bataille y del neurólogo Itzhak Fried, se presenta la risa desde su contradictoria dimensión de expresión de soberanía a través de una soledad compartida.
El dispositivo empleado cuenta con una espacialización de los solistas y de la electrónica que incluye a la orquesta y al público al interior de un mismo espacio compartido.
