Ventriloquist of a world in despair

I speak what has already been said

Living in an echo chamber

I repeat

Tongues in ruin

Ears in trance

Dissociative bilabial exercise

Is it useful to invent words if they can’t be repeated?

Every crisis is excess

In this solo, Michelle Moura composes body landscapes marked by the mechanic, the alienated and the grotesque. With a reduced vocabulary of sounds and movements, physical and vocal dissociations serve as matter for transfiguration, turning the familiar into the uncanny.

Overtongue is either a promise of the disintegration of statements, or a graveyard of intentions.
