Manuel began as a an Art piece: its was the handbook that Alvaro García de Zúñiga imagined for the book-work-of-art “A Finger for a Nose” presented in 2000 in the first, and only, Oeiras’ (near Lisbon) “bienale” of contemporary art, by Entertainment Co., a Portuguese duo of artists : João Louro and João Tabarra. Alvaro was participating for the first time in a joint work with these two artists that was also the last they did together.

A couple of years latter Alvaro was invited to transform this handbook into an acoustic play by the Studio Akustische Kunst of the WDR, in Köln. Thus Manuel became half-man half-handbook, a radio trilogie played by Leopold von Verschuer and Alínea B. Issilva, among many others, and broadcasted in 2003 & 2004.

Performative presentations of the play, in 2005, 2006 & 2007 derived into a new transdisciplinary form involving a variable number of interpreters coming from diferent artistic and national backgrounds and including the use of diferent media.

−
This route brought Manuel definitely on stage as a performative play, or should we say format? In fact Manuel, like any handbook is a structure that can be adapted to many uses. It is always multilingual and there is always the attemp to translate something into somethingelse. Perception is therefore a crucial issue for Manuel in his constant effort to “understand life though books and books through life, as well as books through books, and life through life…” Then he tries to fix something: meanings? Sounds? Signs? Is every language equivalent? In his quest Manuel invents for himself a serie of biographies and becomes the astronaut of his acoustic universe.

Manuel - half-man, half-handbook – tries to understand reality through books. And vice-versa (through books reality). And vice-vice and versa-versa (through books, books, and through reality, reality).

First fixed in fixation, Manuel thinks about thinking about it, to end up saying it is necessary to talk. Too late.



Manuel is multilingual play in 3 parts :


"Manuel I" (53’04”)

Manuel – half-man, half-handbook – tries to define himself through what he reads. He invents a vocabulary and his own grammar and declines himself in a biographical multiplicity.


"Manuel II - La lucha continúa" (53’46”)

Manuel – half-man, half-handbook – concentrates on his auto-biography. He invents a special spacial ballpoint-pen to end writing himself up. Adventurous, he becomes the astronaut of his acoustic universe.


"Manuel III - Letzte Worte" (ca 53’)

Manuel – half-man, half-handbook – wanders in the absolute vacuum. He sees in mathematics the language of nature and concludes that all languages are equivalent. Moribund, he speaks in hieroglyphics and shouts: Long live the dead languages!


Writer and composer, Alvaro García de Zúñiga builds his work using language, and linguistic diversity, as raw-materials for his acoustic and conceptual productions. Manuel is an unfinished portrait in a sinking world that finds itself in multilinguism.
