Traps, 2022
14 and 15 October
70 min
Traps can be seen as a confluence of different actions, dragged by linguistic elements. A hypnotic zoo invites the viewer into its trap. The performance finds itself between the wet walls, inhabited by an unknown identity that seeks to make eye contact with the public. Traps falls into the captured within estrangement and dares to gaze back to reflect its own sociality.
The performance seeks to trace our forgotten belongings, being a trapping pulse and raw meat programmed to consume. It’s a place where drugs and identities are sold and dissolved. It’s a tongue hole, wasted head, wolf-wheel, a person’s dirty mouth and a leaky engine. It travels, restricts, attrapts (?), pokes, and strokes our presence while we’re caught in our own traps.
