participatory performance 
in collaboration with Loïs Soleil
2023

This work was developed for a performance event at IKLECTIK as a part of the Performance Art Curatorial Fellowship of Valentina Peri.

The performance brings people together to extend the understanding of how love can be portrayed, putting care at the center of a multiplicity of relationship(s) and denouncing everyday sexism online. Drawing from hydro- and xenofeminist thinking, the performance takes care beyond the relationship of human dating and extends into another multiplicity of relationships. Sound emerges through touch and movement of the hydrophones, looper, and a poetry reading collecting Tinder bios, as a means of questioning the relationship between desire, language, dating, online sexism, and technology.
