wiggling lines of time, distance and motion
knotting and twisting and stretching.
a green strand in tension between us.
who would know that
to grow in proximity
is also to grow in size?
let the unspoken surface in action.
we see what we see.

With echoes filling up the orbit, but damaged is a performance-installation made up of rope, fabrics, embroidered speakers, metal hooks and loops, and two performers.

The performers task-based choreography physicalises the consistent labour of caring for bodies in-flux (material/intimate/collective), its connections, and crumbling infrastructures. In a deep submission to its materials and process, an* and Moa uphold symbiotic collaboration in a refusal of fixed-categories in regards to making meaning, form and identity.

This iteration, (everything is everything), will be an experiment in duration, making visible what is otherwise not, especially in terms of labour. It will be accompanied with a live sound-recording/mixing/design, situating the work completely in the ongoingness of the room. We journey through set-up, activation, and take down, providing an opening to what is usually not-shown in the art and labour of making-performance, as in that of making-holding togetherness.
