Tender Frictions

Coproduction 2025
Azahara Ubera - Tender Frictions 16:9

Plants are modular organisms that can flexibly adapt to their environment. Can we as humans learn something from this? In the performative installation Tender Frictions, Azahara Ubera Biedma creates space for radical imagination and proposes strategies for becoming more or less than human. In a queer game with plants, hairbrushes, consent and joy, the identities and desires of a few human characters are thoroughly shuffled and transformed.
