Vipera is the musical project of Caterina Dufì, artist and author whose multidisciplinary practice meets writing, music, performance and figurative art.She is interested in performative action in poetry and sound, using both acoustic and electronic instruments. Research on writing feeds on intersection with the visual arts: the study of sign (copy from life, printing techniques) and material culture proper to these disciplines constitute the tools for a poetics of description in the literary field. December 2023 sees the release of the debut album “Acerbo e divorato,” for Dischi Sotterranei, produced by Niccolò Cruciani. She writes and presents with Eugenia Delbue “L’intrico dei rami di alberi differenti ha svelato due modi distinti per vedere il cielo” an electronic poetic act in two voices composed during the Tagli residency. The work was brought to the stage in 2023 at the opening of the exhibition “Sassifraga” (Marsèll Paradise), for which she made and exhibited copies from life called “Serie di ossidiana”. In 2023 she wrote with Daniele Carcassi “I sassi dell’Elba“, a radio script born as a collection of letters, musical tracks and poetic lyrics. In 2022 she presented in Corigliano d’Otranto the audio-visual installation “Prima di fare fuoco” designed for an octagonal room and composed of field-recordings engraved on ribbons and by painted decoration. In the same year she wrote and presented live “Trafitto” a poetic track for solo voice and electronics. In 2021 she released her first EP, “Tentativo di volo” (Dischi Sotterranei), for which she wrote, directed and performed the countermovie built on the music of the record.
She brings her music live to venues such as Teatro del Parco in Mestre, Germi in Milan, SEI Festival in Corigliano d’Otranto and opening for OWEN, Mike Kinsella’s (American Football) solo project, at Locomotiv Club in Bologna and to the CAP 10100 in Turin.
She supports Maria Antonietta and Carmen Consoli, by playing opening acts at their concerts.
