A performance by SCHPANDO appropriating the words and movements of A. Spaziani
in TRIALOGUE with Analia Sirabonian and Abi Tariq
THURSDAY, JULY 28th, 2016, 7pm-8:30 @ Uferstudios, Studio 14, in Berlin, GE
Superficie habitáculo;
meeting place.
Cornering you.
La piel del intercambio
In between Skin 1 and 2
Experiential.
In distracted times of overproduction
(I’m distracted by overproduction)
I want to talk about it but there are no sticky bits
nothing that references the word bank
or is reminiscent of that tasty threshold
Something keeps slipping out from under the font: the word’s designed skin
makes a space for new inhabitants.
Inhabiting you.
Lenguaje is SPATIAL.
Confronting my inadequacies is like spiritual crack,
dressed in fur
Knowing what it feels like to lose. Sensation(al).
