Miss Có,
I put a spell on you because you are an oblique and greedy head-shifter
- SCRATCH the paper 3 times.
- EAT 3 stories.
- SWALLOW 3 dis-con-formed shapes.
- FILL, TWIST AND SQUEEZE 3 balloons, and then, while the air blows out,
Say these cursed words in your mother tongue:
DISTRACT the excessiveness while you DRAG a path.
TRACE plastic organs’ libations.
LICK enchanted anthropophagus (or at least steal their lollipops).
PEEL aphorisms off in an empty theater.
KNEAD ghost dances and erotic nostalgia.
STRETCH lingering inside Hermes-Mercury’s hat.
SCATTER pleasures and ping pong farts.
CLOAK spiritualities at a kid’s lunchtime.
FOLD the death.
BITE goddesses, demons and matters.
CUDDLE the Bathroom’s Blonde (Bloody Mary) on a dance floor.
COVER the not not land, while having an eye on the corn and another on the wolf simultaneously
H(A)UNT messianic translations to be permanently surviving.
Chicken’s disguise
This performance, developed inside the master’s frame, is an extract of my experiments of entangling the practices and research in an interplay of multisensoriality and imagination as a value of liveness and community. ”The Chicken” incarnates the translation from different languages/ backgrounds, accepting and crossing the gaps, failures, and transformations.
“The chicken” is an entity who lives in the small talks between friends, while they dance through somatic-based experiences focused on energy, material-spiritual forms and skin awareness. Besides being a storyteller, The Chicken is a messenger that crosses bodies of daily life, intimacy, vulnerability, science, magic, colonization and History.
