Mother Tongue is a solo about my tongue. A troubled tongue that mixes the need to survive with the fear of disappearing.
Mother Tongue is a duet between my voice and its echo. A sound that insists on resisting.
Mother Tongue is an in-between being. A fiction that defends multiplicity and transformation as a force of existence.
This project stems from a memory of feminist protest, a present of immigration and the desire for a future that will allow us to inhabit the edges. A performance that superimposes personal memory with the present and the desire for a future open to listening. The sonic and musical journey of Mother Tongue, worked in close collaboration with Aria Seashel Delacelle, allows us to feel the echo of voices. A depersonalization that becomes both time and space. What forms and voices are listened to?
This work shares a reading of the transformation of sound and physical gesture through repetition, saturation and insistence; weaving in a resonance of struggles.
