Sotto voce:
“Can we clean history; can we forget what our eyes have seen, our ears have heard; can we clean ourselves of the dirt of remaining witnesses in this age of infinite, ordinary evil; can we lick, swallow, digest what remains in our bodies after everything we absorb; can we really absorb what is going on and still be ourselves with all these unspoken words and hidden truths; can we see ourselves in this blackout; can we…”
A corporeal research into history, memory, and testimony/witnessing, based on that which cannot be spoken, cannot find a tongue, and remains in silence, in darkness. An investigation into cleaning history and giving visibility to the invisible.

New performance piece, The Punishment at A Corner in the World

The Punishment wanders through our common memory in a quest to explore power dynamics and crime. It investigates the relationships between weakness and power, punishment and shame, crime and testimony, while navigating the borders between social punishment and personal shame, and personal punishment and social shame.
