Ramat Simfònic is an outdoor spectacle that invites the audience to graze alongside Moon Ribas (cyborg artist) and Quim Girón (acrobat), the shepherds and performers of the piece. Each person in the audience wears a speaker hung around their neck like an electronic cowbell. In this way, the sound of the spectacle is constantly in motion thanks to the walking of the spectators, who, together with the performers, create and deform choreographies for each scene.
Joan Cot, musician and soul of the entire orchestra formed by the people, manipulates the entire sonic universe created from their voices. Ramat Simfònic is a medium, a village, an instrument, a ceremony that invokes different dances confronting the animality within the human being.
The collaboration between Moon Ribas and Quim Girón began in 2019 with the motivation to blend performing arts with cybernetics, aiming to bring the audience a physical experience in addition to the auditory and visual. Thanks to these technological devices, their works are both participatory and connected to reality, allowing other living elements beyond our control to intervene in the dramaturgy of their performances. Their motivation is to open the audience's consciousness to observe what surrounds us, thereby creating space for the emergence of new languages within circus and dance. This common ground has led them to create various projects such as Fenòmen, premiered at the Grec Festival 2021 in Barcelona; Sentit de l’embaràs 2022 (a new cyborg sense that allowed Quim to be connected to his child when it was an embryo); the show Ramat Simfònic, premiered at the Simògraf Festival in Olot in 2023; and Sota Terra, a European project by Stronger Peripheries premiered in Mataró with the Transversal Network and in Sardinia with Sardegna Teatro in 2023.
