SYNOPSIS
‘FLUXMATA’ MOVED THROUGH A VISCERAL LIFE CYCLE, SUBVERTING THE INVASIVE VIOLENCE, EXPECTATION, AND PRESSURE IMPOSED ON AFAB BODIES FROM BIRTH. WE RECLAIMED DIRT AND GRIME, CRAWLED THROUGH BIRTH, GROWTH, END OF LIFE, DECOMPOSITION, AND REBIRTH. THE SECRETION, BIRTHED FROM A MANNEQUIN TORSO, TRANSFORMED STATES OF MATTER, COALESCING WITH PLASTER, DIRT, FLUID, AND SWEAT, RESHAPING AND REDEFINING ITS FORM. MANGLED THOROUGHLY, WE CUT FROM THE SLAB ONCE MORE, RETURNING THE NEW EMBRYO TO OUR WOMB TO START THE CYCLE AGAIN.
THIS WORK WAS CREATED IN COLLABORATION WITH MA HARMS AND GENEVIEVE CECILE AS PART OF AN AWARDED RESIDENCY IN THE BROILER SERIES AT ORACLE EGG, AN ARTIST- RUN SPACE FOR EXPERIMENTAL NEW WORKS. WE TRANSFORMED THE SPACE THROUGH SET DESIGN AND BUILDING, CREATING A THREE PART OPERATIC WORK THAT COMBINED PERFORMANCE ART, THEATRE, LIVE SOUND PROCESSING, AND INSTRUMENT PERFORMANCE.
