Dissolution

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

Grief permeates everything.

Dissolution: The colonial notion of a single form of justice with a singular
collective memory begins to dissolve. The artists do not dream of the
general future of "free russia", instead they mourn the steppes,
mountains, swamps, stones, animals, lost languages, spirits, and people.

An evening in English spoken language with Integrated Audio Description in English and English Subtitles.

Dissolution is a search for sensitivity and a process of mourning. The performers are exploring how sensitivity to differences has been erased again and again, and how it can reemerge. They invite each other, along with the audience, into spaces where something or someone was absent and left unmourned. Queer, trans, Indigenous, non-russian, crip and nonhuman perspectives that russian rules often separates from each other are reinterpreted through relationships of interdependence.

The colonial notion of a single form of justice with a singular collective memory begins to dissolve. The artists do not dream of the general future of "free russia", instead they mourn the steppes, mountains, swamps, stones, animals, lost languages, spirits, and people. Grief permeates everything. All is in a state of dissolution. The artists themselves carry this dissolution within them, sharing it in a non-linear way through texts, visuals, sounds, felting, embroidery, magic instructions, and parallel play.

Can they support each other's grief without denial when fatigue, anger, and loss shape both their bodies and the landscapes around them?
