Project Details
∞ explores the relationship between the human and celestial body through movement, sound, and vibration in this work merging contemporary performance and experimental bagpipes. Inspired by fetal microchimerism, where fetal cells can remain in a mother’s body for decades regardless of the fetus’s survival, and black holes as spaces where information cannot escape, the work proposes a metaphysical link between the deceased and the great cosmic formation. It looks at “energy release” as both a physical and symbolic process, embracing mourning as a sacred, embodied interstice shaped by breath, gesture, and the resonant sonic field of experimental bagpipes.
