Ha Kyoon + Nkisi Tickets

Ha Kyoon: BURIDAN's SNARES

 

The starting point for this performance is the Buridan's donkey paradox: a parable in which a donkey starves to death between two handfuls of oats placed at equal
distances from him (or between a bucket of oats and a bucket of water), unable to
choose between the two. The body is the starting point or junction between two actions, making our soul the consequence of our choices. Let's not become that donkey. Kisses.

 

Nkisi: Anomaly Index

In this performative intervention, Nkisi deals with the tonal and tactile qualities of her site-specific anomaly index: Paracoustic altar, an installation that uses the complex and colonial history of sound recording technology through the phonograph and the wax cylinder. By sequencing acoustic experiments on and with the altar, the artist will conjure up the paraacoustic energies and heritage of the ancestors, which opposed the categorization and simple capture embedded in these archival artifacts.
