**Sulpicia Mea Vox** in Real Time Live Cinema

... green/blue screen with chroma keying techniques resuscitate the poems of the only female poet to survive from ancient Rome...

-- VJ Opie with Wonder+ in **Sulpicia Mea Vox** DJ Wise, and performers Anna Ten, Anne-Sarah Faget, and Chloé Julien-Guillet. Sulpicia Mea Vox resuscitates the dormant verses of ancient Roman poet Sulpicia, the only extant female poet from Roman antiquity.
VJ Opie creates a convoluted world of segmented bodies mixed in with ubiquitous hunters and airplanes invaded by Sulpicia's text, a bizarre universe rescuing Roman exuberance.
The three performers surrender their bodies to the driving emotions of images and sound. But the surrendered quickly come into power through improvisation to take control of the scene. The dialectic movement of the bodies against technology sets the rhythm of the performance, never even, never settled, but always a struggle--to survive just like Sulpicia's verses.
