Shipwreck
Troubling Time - s-l-i-c-e, Wiesenburg, Berlin, 2022
(reading performance, with spacial sound and light installation)
4 min extract from 23 min performance.
Shipwreck is a performance-installation combining reading, light, and sound. An emergency lighting system and tannoy transforms the gallery and its overgrown garden into a performative environment. The audience is led through a live reading that began with the actual emergency messages that were once delivered on a Mediterranean cruise ship in distress, before unfolding into the story of a pianist on board. The pianist’s story is intertwined with a poetic meditation of shipwrecks across history. Installation, performance, and text, are brought together to explore human greed, disaster, and nature’s slow reclamation of sites of destruction.
