About

Often associated with anger and chaos, screaming is criticized, condemned, or censored in language and public spaces. Whether filled with rage, pleasure, pain, or silent, it is a powerful and deeply intimate act. It provokes instant empathy that also summons what we have in common and what is most instinctive. It is a crack in space-time. This piece is an attempt to reclaim this radical expression in order to tame its raw and staggering power. Through a powerful physical and sonic journey, it seeks to make this vital impulse accessible, like a scream of alarm in the context of the geopolitical, ideological, and ecological crisis we are currently experiencing.
