AMPLIFICA
For São Paulo born audiovisual artist Kleiton Bassi, amplitude is about connection. Like a sound system in perfect sync, when frequencies align they strengthen each other. When they fall out of phase, they fade.
Amplifica is born from this idea. When people, stories and intentions move together, they create resonance. Energy expands. Messages travel further. A space becomes a community. An encounter becomes memory.
In this performance, Kleiton brings together artists from different disciplines and backgrounds, connected through both diasporic journeys and local roots. It is a meeting ground for cultures, sounds and memories that cross borders, and for those who welcome them. These are stories of movement, belonging and shared transformation, unfolding through sound, light and collective presence.
The setting holds its own echo. The historic Silvertown building, where Kleiton once lived during a collaborative residency with ReSpace, has lived many lives: once part of the Tate Institute, later an artistic occupation, then years of silence. Now it awakens again through collective energy.
It was here that the Obrigado Sound System was born. What began as an experimental build became a communal instrument, part sculpture and part sonic engine, now powering underground gatherings, independent events and shared rituals. It returns to the space that shaped it, ready to amplify once more.
With mapped projections, live performance and a sound system breathing in sync with the crowd, Amplifica becomes a shared vibration.
A ritual of listening together.
A reminder that when we tune in as a collective, it is not only the sound that grows stronger, it is the meaning.
