Performance Canto, río, río, lloro by Pilar Escobar

From 4pm

​

Pilar Escobar presents Canto, río, río, lloro (Song, river, laugh, cry), a performative action that draws on ritual and song to relay the cry of the river itself—of its waters and visible and invisible beings that inhabit it. A slow funerary accordion melody delivers us to a sacred territory. Relaying stories of life and death, joy and grief, Canto, río, río, lloro, is a prayer by and for the river—Yuma, the great serpent. It calls for the transformation of human consciousness, for its openness to cleanse, drain and sweep away memories of violence, ambition and sadness, so that the river resonates and vibrates in harmonious frequencies thus purifying the memory of its waters.

The performance will be followed by a 5 - 7 at the gallery.
