Jenny Witzel presents: I, Symbiont
The word these beings use to describe unity is Symbiosis.
A word beginning SYM meaning Together and BIO meaning Living,
living together, breeding oxygen for new lives to be Bio in Sym.
A documentary gig about climate collapse from the perspective of aliens who have found my laptop. I, Symbiont investigates capitalist resistance through mutually beneficial exchange between humans and the non-human through an avalanche of video art, live music, and text.
Opening performance
by Hippolyte Broud and Calum Perrin
This performance invites the audience to shift their usual listening experience and enter a sonic realm, perpetually haunted by the presence of an old actor, as if he refuses to leave the poem into which he has invested so much of himself. A performance with voice and improvised music, the audience will experience the vocal oscillations of the British actor John Gielgud when he performs Christina Rossetti's poem “A Birthday". Delving through the sound layer by layer, they unveil the story that lies beneath those words.
"Welcoming, inclusive, creative and life-affirming. I have learnt a lot myself in so many ways that will seep into all parts of my life. My self-confidence has massively increased"
