Anonym Plant: The Ghost of Macounaïma // Performance alle 15 min

Anonym Plant: The Ghost of Macunaïma is not exactly a performance, but rather an experience: a study of oneself with the Other, by the means of a brief gestural and facial metamorphosis.

The relationship to the Other is defined by predation that does not aim to assimilate its prey as the consumer of the modern world would. It's more about connecting to it in order to reveal the value of the link.“ (Cannibal Metaphysics by Viveiros de Castro)

Living in society: being both cannibalistic and cannibalized. These are the dynamics at the heart of our defensive behaviors. Who eats our imaginations, who digests them? We will try to blur our usual outlines and experience an imaginary that is born out of the unconscious impulses that push us to each other - with feelings that can sometimes be animal, plant-like or archetypal.
