PROMISES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN
NOV 9 and 11, 9PM
Lumiere Gallery, Makati City
Donna Miranda / Dancing Wounded / Diego Maranan
Acrobats of love, cynical and vulnerable at the same time, six warm
bodies seek to tell the stories of their bodies by evoking frustration
of attention, interrupting choreographic-driven material with
improvisation.
A performance is like an adventure, to drop out
of the continuity of life, cutting out a piece of endless continuous
sequences of perceived experience, detaching it from all connectives
and giving it self-sufficient form (thank you Georg Simmel). Offering
glimpses into brief episodes of challenged reality, broken continuities
and unabridged circumstances. In this adventure, Donna Miranda invites
Danicng Wounded’s Jay Cruz, Red Lasam,
Mae Bayot along with Tess Jamias and Diego Maranan to temporarily disrupt the
sociology of a café environment. Using spoken word, text, gestures and
movement, the artists are enjoined to paint the grotesque of seduction
and frustration, much like the idea of performing before an audience.
How to “install” our bodies in the gallery/café space and allow a
narrative to take shape? What happens when we heighten the ordinary
under artificial conditions, prolonging the pregnant glances and risk
to move beyond the accepted?
Lumiere Gallery is located at G/F Locsin Bldg Atrium, Makati Avenue cor Ayala Avenue, Makati City.
