TRANSlucency
A TRANSitory assemblage emerges at THE EVENT OF ENCOUNTER (or on the improbability of coming together).
Meta/Mega TRANS is a set of relationships, actions, and systems that manifest territories within another territory. A multiplicity of crossings where memories, knowledge, and sensations are interlacing and forming substantial and complex grounds to resist the homogenizing force of oppressive politics. The durational performance is an inquiry into the opacity of the creation of collectivity, a collectivity that operates by the question of how to be political when, in the words of Hannah Arendt, we don’t know how to move political yet. Poetry, like a sociogenic force, will hold our hands in Meta/Mega TRANS - Modes of Narration, and like a joyful vortex, invite the visitor to absorb and ooze with us the EVENT HORIZON until dusk.
Poetic
taking the agency of disentangling reality from a fixed set of meanings…
We are tales, part of tales, pieces, a puzzle.
The gathering of elements from different directions characterized at certain times and exploring desires with specific narratives. Plural narrations.
It is a call to relate with the invisible/visible around (inside) us and the stored stories. The worlding of many worlds. The choreography of our synchronicity on times together. A surface where substances come in proximity and multiple textures overlap.
