7 abiku solos for 11 bacterias falling through
7 Abiku Solos for 11 Bacteria Falling Through is a performance installation that merges sounds, texts, images and movement in a multidisciplinary attempt to conjure the ghostly traces of the unborn.It is centered on the unique cosmology of the micro-biotic world that brings to foreground interspecies entanglements : ghosts, birds, bacterias…It mingles a personal story; forgotten and erased memories with a sensation encarved in the guts. In this speculative fabulation we bring to foreground the complexity of the colonial modernity ongoing process by dismantling hegemonic systems of knowledge through scientific language and digital technologies.
The fable unveils the mechanism of living while in a state of being sequestered from Life with all its colonial(ist) anti-biotic, anti-zootic impulses and implications, and creating dances with a broader engagement is , nevertheless, moving at the edge of an impossibility.
