Activity - Vagxs y maleantxs, performative reading of oppressive laws | MACBA Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona

All audiences

24 April, 2018

Taking our cue from Spanish laws that have condemned, normalised, punished and oppressed bodies and sexualities over the years, we are giving a performative reading that turns the written word into overlapping rhymes and sequences that create parasonic* soundscapes.

* The many definitions of ‘parasonic’ include the impossibility of ever finding a correct theoretical definition. We take ‘parasonic’ to encompass everything deduced exclusively from a shared sound experience.

By Isamit Morales and Itxaso Corral.
