PRICE: I Try My Tongue (sequences)

PRICE lives between Brazil and Europe and has presented work in museums, theatres, site-specific spaces and clubs. Scent plays an increasingly present role in his practice, triggering an exploration within the politics of spaces, both social and private, delving into the conflicting dynamics that exist within these socially normative categories. His projects cross media and time, encompassing performance, sonic intervention, installation and sculpture.

In I Try My Tongue (sequences), PRICE measures reality with musical melodies, sonic plasticity and vocal experimentation, shifting the focus away from lyrics. It’s an homage to those who didn’t grow up speaking English, but were nonetheless flooded with the language. It’s like a child who repeats phonetically what he doesn’t understand, trying to master the vocabulary of a hegemony invaded by riddles he never chose. The performance will be accompanied by the Italian musician and composer Renato Grieco on Viola di Gamba.

I Try My Tongue (sequences) forms part of the programme for the second edition of Fogo Fátuo.
