Ashes and Seeds Ashes and Seeds: a commemorative performanceMemory is in dispute. It should be clear after fake news has become a thing. Truth, as a construction, is rarely on the side of the oppressed. And because of this, we resist. We fight for the truths we still remember, we pass them on and hold to them dearly, fiercely. We engrave them in our memory. This performance asks how a specific event has survived and changed in our memory, throughout 11 years of deceit. It asks for the specific memory of those who have experienced the event from far away, through their cellphones, their social media. The performance does not intend to provide new information, but rather be a place for collective naming, threading and recalling accountability. What happens in one place is never an isolated event. This performance is a memorial of the disappearance of 43 Ayotzinapa students in Iguala, Mexico, on its 11th anniversary. |
