MM 2018: Talk trouble

Overview

This reading performance in three acts focuses on language and collectivity. During each act, a body of text accompanies different contexts in which speech and linguistics operate as processes of alienation and uprooting. Starting with a reading about collaboration and injurious words, the performance continues by placing music and Romance languages in everyday situations that lead to an analysis of different structures of non-linguistic operations and an attempt to find commonalities in all of them.

For this performance, artist Claudia Pagès collaborates with musician Aleix Clavera and performers Ameen Mettawa and Noela Covelo.
