Revolution Relay
is a durational score navigating colonial residue, national identity, and forced belonging. Staged in Mexico—land marked by Spanish conquest—the performance resonates deeply with my own identity, tracing shared colonial histories under Spain and the ongoing violence of imperial powers like Canada.
Through acts of absurd failure—balancing eggs, dragging bottles, and wrestling with a Canadian poncho used as a matador’s cape—the piece relays a persisting revolution from one body to another, no longer tethered by fear.
It asks: what must be shed to truly heal?
