Experimentation Lab

LABEXP1- Disobedient Voices

WITH Lia Garcia [La Novia Sirena] (MEXICO) and Meno del Picchia (BRAZIL)

Lia Garcia [La Novia Sirena] (MÉXICO) e Meno del Picchia (BRASIL)

Trans performer and slammer Lia Garcia [La Novia Sirena] and musician Meno del Picchia will work the voice breaking and its fragments in this lab. The dissents’ vocal production will gain the centrepiece from the shout, the lament, the cry and the echo derived from resistance stories. The voice as a vocabulary of trans resistance, as emotive production element and as collective pain memory. On each activity day a different concept will be focused:

Day 1: The wound – The injured body’s voice; the alphabet of wounds as a remnant of the contextualized city.

Day 2: The scar – The wound’s residue (“here it hurt, here I healed”); the scar as a footprint and as a body-emotive memory to weave the resistances and alliances between our struggles.

Day 3: Trans / deformation – The voice as a spearhead to imagine new bodies, new worlds and new ways of speaking of our pain.

The dynamics will be based on elements of the spoken word / expanded poetry, performance, trans and gender perspective and will rely on the musical provocations of Meno del Picchia.

WHEN

February 29th to March 2nd, Saturday to Monday, from 9am to 1pm.
