About the Event
In Embodied, four performers repeat text verbatim as they listen to remixed audio tracks of fifty-five interviewees all responding to a single prompt: “Describe a time you were acutely aware of your race.” Surveillance cameras track their movements and wireless microphones manipulate their voices, capturing the insecurity, paranoia, and absurdity of life in America during mass social unrest. Embodied explores how we interpret messages when they’re being delivered by people with different race and gender identities– a survey of fears, defenses, and hopes as people struggle to understand their perceptions of self and others.
