The mollusc has no concept of Buddha (2023).


The mollusc has no concept of Buddha (2023) is a performance score devised with the use of machin learning software as a queering of the embodied archive and collaborative tool.

The work explores the process of molluscs creating pearl as a symbol of the body in active and passive states and combines movement with live and pre-generated projection, sounds by Mica Levi and costume design by Catarina Dias Silva.

It was performed on the Bonnie Bird Theatre on the 25/05/23 and the 17/06/23.
