«The thing that struck me was the relationship to time. How the rocks were present in modernity making modernity itself be just a blip. A temporary reality, nothing more. But those rocks signified something else. They signified the beginning of modernitys love affair with itself.» – «tongues breaks inhaling», Katherine MacBride
A speculative re-memory of a porous Europe based on feminist solidarity and queer care, making reparations for its colonial violence and ecological wastage. The performance's structure and moods connect to four characters: Sappho, ancient poet; Maria Spentza, painter and ceramicist; Melina Mercouri, actor and politician; and Lena Platanos, electronic musician. A multi-sensory performance with video, sound, light, movement and spoken words. The performance is made with access consultation from Collective Text, in collaboration with Angelica Falkeling, Anna Frei, Clara J:son Borg, and Raluca Croitoru.
The performance was part of the exhibition «having been breathed out/patriarchy over and out» by Katherine Macbride curated by ainslie roddick at cca glasgow.
