Sono iniziate le riprese di Loose Voice Toolkit, film di Adele Dipasquale output della ricerca sviluppata durante la residenza in Cripta747 nel 2022 e frutto del workshop realizzato dall’artista in collaborazione con l'educatrice e performer Michela Depetris, insieme allɜ ragazzɜ di Farfallopoli (1B dell’Istituto Comprensivo Statale Gino Strada).
Con il supporto di Cripta747, Adele Dipasquale ha sviluppato un progetto di ricerca che esplora i linguaggi dell'infanzia, il potere del silenzio come strategia di rifiuto e altre forme di comunicazione non-verbali. Nel primo semestre dell'anno scolastico 2022-23 sono stati realizzati 10 incontri durante i quali lɜ bambinɜ hanno fatto esperienza dei linguaggi non verbali, riflettendo sulla capacità della voce e del silenzio come strumenti di emancipazione. La seconda parte del laboratorio invece si sviluppa in quattro sessioni pratiche che porteranno alla realizzazione dell’opera filmica.
The shooting of Lose Voice Toolkit has begun. The project is the output of the research developed by Adele Dipasquale during the residency in Cripta747 in 2022, as well as the result of the workshop realized in collaboration with educator and performer Michela Depetris, together with the Farfallopoli's kids (1B of the Istituto Comprensivo Statale Gino Strada).
With the support of Cripta747, Adele Dipasquale developed a research-based project that explores childhood languages, the power of silence as a strategy of refusal and other forms of non-verbal communication. During ten meetings in the first semester of the 2022-23 school year, the children experienced non-verbal language and reflected on the capacity of voice and silence as instruments of emancipation. On the other hand, the second part of the workshop was developed into four practical sessions that led to the making of the film.

[english follow] Cripta747 è felice di presentare la ricerca sviluppata durante i primi due mesi di residenza a Torino da Adele Dipasquale.
Lose voice toolkit – titolo ispirato da un’alterazione sintattica pronunciata da un giovane YouTuber in un tutorial su trucchi e consigli per raggiungere l’afonia – indaga i linguaggi dell’infanzia, le forme di comunicazione non-verbale e il potere del silenzio come strategia di rifiuto, proponendo una riflessione in divenire sul “perdere la voce” come atto consapevole, utile per la costruzione di spazi di libertà e di autodeterminazione.
Attraverso un processo di validazione collettiva il linguaggio verbale – una delle forme di comunicazione più in uso tra gli esseri umani – è considerato strumento di conoscenza e definizione di una data cultura, il cui rigetto quindi costituisce un gesto di ribellione nei confronti dei canoni comunicativi dettati dal mondo degli adulti.
Lose voice toolkit si configura a partire da uno spazio intimo rappresentativo del mondo infantile, dentro il quale immergersi per aderire al percorso di silenziazione grazie ad una jawbreaker, caramella che – secondo teorie infantili non comprovate – è in grado di far perdere la voce.
Disposte dall’artista su vassoi in ceramica e offerte ai visitatori, le jawbreaker, letteralmente spacca-mascelle, spezzano le catene del linguaggio; la loro magia risiede sia nel potenziale effetto corporeo che queste possono causare, sia nei messaggi che si celano tra i gruzzoli di tali sfere multicolore e che verranno via via rivelati.
Proiettati su una delle pareti della tenda una serie di appunti visivi utili per la realizzazione di un nuovo capitolo della serie “Flighty matters”1.
Realizzate in collaborazione con Nico e Annalisa Vitale, le riprese in 16mm sono un inno a tutte quelle forme di comunicazione che non si basano sul riconoscimento del linguaggio semantico come unica forma di comunicazione valida e significativa.
In questa prima fase di indagine, il progetto prende forma anche grazie ad un laboratorio di ricerca che Adele Dipasquale sta portando avanti insieme allз alunnз della classe prima dell’Istituto Comprensivo Gino Strada-Muratori e alla maestra Giulia Bertolotti. Il laboratorio è impostato come uno spazio di indagine collettiva sull’esperienza che lз bambinз fanno del silenzio e della voce, riflette sul potere della comunicazione, verbale e non-verbale, come strumento di emancipazione per non subire passivamente le dinamiche normative del linguaggio.

1“Flighty matters” è una serie di cortometraggi realizzati da Adele Dipasquale intorno alla politica della produzione della voce e alle strategie di negazione. “Farfallino”, “Un bel dì vedremo” e “Harpy” sono i primi tre episodi della serie.
Tips & tricks to lose your voice, proven method, not just lies!
• scream in a pillow
• whisper
• cough
• do not drink any water
• keep your mouth open until it’s dry
• eat only sour or dairy food
Cripta747 is pleased to present Adele Dipasquale’s research carried out during her first two months of residence in Turin.
Lose voice toolkit – whose title is inspired by a syntactic alteration pronounced by a young YouTuber in a tutorial on tricks and tips to achieve aphonia – investigates the languages of childhood, the forms of non-verbal communication and the power of silence as a strategy of refusal. The project proposes an ongoing reflection on “losing one’s voice” as a conscious act, helpful to construct spaces of freedom and self-determination.
Due to a process of collective validation, verbal language – one of the most widely used forms of communication among human beings – is considered an instrument of knowledge and definition of a given culture. Its rejection, therefore, represents a gesture of rebellion against the communicative norms dictated by the adult world.
Lose voice toolkit is configured as an intimate space, representative of children’s world, within which to immerse oneself to follow the silencing path. This process begins with a jawbreaker, a candy that – according to unproven child theories – is able to make one lose his voice.
Displayed by the artist on ceramic trays and offered to visitors, the jawbreakers crack the language chains. Their magic lies both in the potential bodily effect they can cause and in the messages hidden within the clusters of such multi-coloured spheres that will gradually be revealed.
Inside the blanket-fort some visual notes for the next chapter of the series “Flighty matters”1 are projected. Made in collaboration with Nico and Annalisa Vitale, the 16mm shots are a hymn to non-verbal communication and all those forms of “being in conversations with the world” that don’t rely on the predominance of semantic speech as the only meaningful and valid form of existence.
In this first phase of investigation, the project also takes shape through a research laboratory that Adele Dipasquale is carrying out with the students of the first class of the Istituto Comprensivo Gino Strada-Muratori and the teacher Giulia Bertolotti. The laboratory is set up as a space of collective investigation on the experience that the children make in the first person with silence and voice, not to passively undergo the regulatory dynamics of language and reflect on the power of communication, verbal and non-verbal, as an instrument of emancipation.
