bela – A Comparative Dialogue Act | Production phase
At the heart of "A Comparative Dialogue Act" is a residency programme, initiated by Andrea Mancini and Every Island. During the exhibition at Mudam, four guest artists are invited to engage with the installation, infusing it with their individual and collective signature. They will work on site during the production phase and will present their newly created pieces during the performances.
The residency unfolds further with its second guest bela, who takes on voice and composition to reveal non-binary-gender experiences and to rebuild relationships between value systems and memories. They explore the liberatory potential of contemporary sound and movement by performing rituals full of tactile and guttural sounds that reflect on the precarity of life, queer identity, and survival modes in South Korea.
