Still
Gabriel G Torres
Still is a performance ritual and installation created to explore our identity in a world where we are constantly bombarded by information. Gabriel G Torres will deconstruct his identity in 7 concepts that have gone through the eye of Nat Cors in the shape of videos. For four hours each day, Gabriel will lay down in the center of the space, in fetal position, as the audience is invited to come and explore:
Love, Rage, Sadness, Compassion, Faith, Queerness and Violence.
The audience is also invited to lay down and be still with Gabriel, or simply explore their identities throughout the space.
After four hours, at 8pm every day, Gabriel will make a performance ritual co/directed by Camila Campos Katz to reconstruct his identity, and the identity of those who are willing to stay and embark the journey with him.
Schedule, Wednesday – Sunday
4 – 8pm: Installation open to the public; Torres is meditating in the space.
8 – 9pm: Performance by Torres.
9 – 10pm: Q&A/talkback session with Torres.
