Playing between Fissures

Dialogue between two performers, their movement and a violin tossed in trash and dumpster dived back and prepared. The gestures of walking, leaning, pressure and release create a drone, noise, harmonies, different timbres of an once unwanted string instrument.

 

Themes of the performance: bodies, resonating bodies, nuances of touch, the queer things that sit in the gaps and fissures of the logics of accumulation and anticipation, paths, circles. In collaboration with sound artist Miio Holopainen.
