<Back is Foward and Foward is Back> as we drew on dust with our pointed tails.
{is} an invitation. To bifurcate, become roots, stand branched. <Below Is Above, And Above Is Below> it whispers, while your feet are sinking in the sand in motion.
{is} a prediction. A prophecy of sound, a shadow of the world below. A postcard amulet of Robinia lineament, a portal, a whirl. A voice that foresees, if you blink, you’ll miss it.
{is} a looped window on a secret forest. A layer of layers, a reptilian cry. A root that connects, disguised. Unveils, retraces, repeats, recites.
{roots} from the group’s collaborative one year study. Reflecting on human and more-than-human temporalities, symbiosis, swamp knowledge(s), (dis)placement and site-specificity, the performance draws questions on scale(s), circular rhythms and subterranean sounds to generate a multimedia and pixelated image of the forest.
The fortuneteller foresees wearing shoes that comfortably linger the extension of time. Mind the sun, mind the clouds.
