BOUNCING NARRATIVES
Bouncing Narratives is a jumbled mess—a playful wash of images, sounds, and movements that elicits the fine line of pure joy and trauma narratives. It centers around a trauma that cannot be expressed in words, and it bounces back again and again.
Using minimal and repetitive vocabulary, bouncing and sliding, nuances of rhythm and speed become the main components of a performative act that animates the installation and drives towards a trance-like intensity. In this interdisciplinary collaborative project, we propose a space to animate the alienated body, the vulnerable self of a “monster identity” and the gap between the self and the “other”.
