Vir Andres Hera’s performance, “The sacred, without world,” featuring Jona Bruixet and Maya Zaton, draws inspiration from Marlene NourbeSe Philip’s poem “Zong!” to explore poetic realms and semantic chaos. The artists craft a collective narrative interweaving multiple temporalities, drawing elements from carnival, oceans, ballrooms, and seismographs. This piece aims to give voice to the dead, engage in dialogue with them, and challenge historical documents that oppress marginalized and colonized peoples. It unfolds within the residency “IT’S ABOUT TIME” by Thomas Conchou at the MAH.
