This work-in-progress showing of [ the hurricanes in your mouth ], premiering May 2024 as a part of the 2023–24 Performance AIRspace residency at Abrons Arts Center, weaves together Caribbean cosmology, the histories of pirate radio, and Jamaican sound system culture to create a performance speculating on sonic fugitivity. The performance focuses on the wind, embracing it as a destructive climatological force, a generative power, and a creative world-maker. Wind is channeled through the body via the mouth to propel voice, conjure speech, and disperse poetics. [ the hurricanes in your mouth ] meditates on the connection between the wind in our mouths and the gale of the storm, as forces that make a room for the oral imaginary.
