An alchemical act where the mind questions and the heart resonates.
A concert-ritual that explores the thresholds of being
through piano and poetry.
This project is an alchemical act where word and sound engage in a ritual of transformation. The poems function as the mind's interrogation: incisive, conceptual, lacerating. In response, the piano answers with the heart's eloquence: a language of shadows, resonances, and bridges toward the transverbal. Together, they fuse the rational and the mystical in a crucible of sound.
The piano pieces—with a complex structure, hovering between classical modernity and contemporary jazz—oscillate between the seductive and the disruptive, cracking fissures of lucidity. The poems are ontic invocations: thresholds where the self decomposes and resurges, transfigured, into the transpersonal.
Supersubstantial is a ceremony in six acts. Each movement is a complete cycle of interrogation and response, death and rebirth. This dialogue maps a journey from the individual psyche toward that which exceeds it—the sacred without dogma, philosophy without constraints, the self unfolding from itself.
The performance
Gonzalo Gimenez is a pianist, composer, and poet. In this project, he embodies this dialogue: his voice recites the verses that interrogate, while his hands on the piano articulate the resonant response. His technique is precise and wild; his word, an anti-explanation. For the essential is not declaimed: it is hinted at, torn open, silenced.
