ACT II: If LOVE Could Speak
Interactive Soundscape Performance w/ Anju M. Kasturiraj + F. Dobrota
Free tickets can be booked here
I Am Awake is an immersive soundscape performance featuring text and vocals by Anju M Kasturiraj and sound accompaniment by F. Dobrota. Audience members are invited to shape the sonic architecture through humming, collective reading, and quiet invocations. Dream journal entries tracing recurring visits to haunted houses and ancestral atopos are read aloud, looped, and layered into new forms. The work unfolds as a meditation on the elusive spectre of love, through its echoes and continuous transformations.
This event is free and open to all, however advanced booking is required for the workshop and recommended for the evening events.
This programme is deeply rooted in audience engagement and participation, but this is always invitational, there is no pressure to perform or speak.
If LOVE had Senses… is curated by Nishi Chodimella, Norah Tsai and Reaia Parkes in partnership with Mimosa House and Goldsmiths MFA Curating for the exhibition A Formula for How to Find Love by artist Victoria Cantons.
