MOYRA CECILIA SILVA RODRÍGUEZ

2017
Festival FITLÂ Lima, Perú

An original idea by CorpusMedio

Directed/performed by Moyra Silva

Sound/film edited by Adele Fournet

This project began from a long-distance dialogue between Moyra and Adele, sparked by discussions about the artistic legacy and untimely death of the Cuban-American artist Ana Mendieta. Over the course of a year, they sustained a collaborative investigation through digital communication, exchanging videos, audios, and images. Through this shared experience, they contemplated whether digital communication truly diminishes the barriers of distance to maintain meaningful relationships.

The performance seeks to actively involve participants, prompting them to recall personal memories through sensory engagement such as smell, taste, and touch. The interactive nature of the audience’s involvement revealed their enjoyment in having a space to experience and connect intimately: whether through screaming, giving massages, or engaging in playful interactions with one another.
