IN THE TIRED WATERING 2022

Performance
Produced in collaboration with Anti Ribeiro, Puta da Silva and Sékou Semega.
Presented at the upcoming site of Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Venice (IT), curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist.


IN THE TIRED WATERING is a consideration about the sonic ecologies of the flood. The performance attempts to bring the flood to the island - not as a metaphor, if we accept the possibility of water being manifested not only by its known forms, but also as sound, sweat and emotion. The live sonic composition, that includes ambiental sounds already present in the island, seeks to connect many watery sounds with the voice of the performers, who are either reading, singing or whispering a variety of poems and chants. Besides that, there is also a component of physical performance that is fundamental to this piece, as the work also departs from a meditation on exhaustion in the face of the apocalyptic conditions of the Global present. A large piece of cotton textile, previously sunk in the Laguna, is resurfaced during the performance, bringing up the weight of water transported in it as well as the markings of under-water existence printed erratically on the cotton.
