Try-out Body Tongues: Techno_Rage

You're invited to participate in the ongoing development of Body Tongues: Techno_Rage, an artistic exploration led by __________ collective (Sall Lam Toro, suziethecockroach, Keiria Shishay and Warren Jones). This project delves into collective rage within public spaces through experimental somatic rage_choirs and rage_raving. During the residency, the artists aim to blend live sound sampling, diverse musical genres, and audience participation to create immersive experiences. They intend to develop somatic practices that encourage movement, activating multisensory bodily responses and fostering collective choreographies of rage. The goal is to harness rage's political potential to unite communities in movements grounded in solidarity, care, liberation, and profound longing.

About the artists

Sall Lam Toro (they/them) is an antidisciplinary multimedia performance artist based in Copenhagen. Their work evokes inter-relational decolonial, ecoerotic, cosmic and embodied manifestos that confront what they call “the hijacked body”. The hijacked body arises from the illusion of separability, and Toro often works with strategies to devise artistic interventions to unwrite and disrupt this body collectively. Through ritual, glitches, failure, dialogues with ecoerotic companions, text, resonance and e-motion, Toro develops poetic multitudes of body and radical imagination within anticapitalist, anarchist, and collective modes of liberation.
