IMMA presents a new performance by Sweat Variant
Sweat Variant
my tongue is a blade
Okwui Okpokwasili & Peter Born
IMMA is excited to present a new performance installation by New York based Sweat Variant, the collaborative practice of Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born, acclaimed for their highly experimental, formally inventive cross-disciplinary work. The pair will present my tongue is a blade on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 June 2025 from 2pm to 5pm in the Chapel at IMMA.
my tongue is a blade is a three-hour durational movement practice that is a work with relation, memory, and reflection. It asks: What are the limits of our attention and how does that test the strength of our bonds? Three performers commit to remembering each other, holding each other, bearing each other, and sustaining the world that contains them.
This rich visual and sonic landscape is an invitation to the audience to witness this practice and resonate within it. my tongue is a blade will be performed by Okwui Okpokwasili, NY based performer Bria Bacon, and Dublin-based performer Alessandra Azeviche. The Sweat Variant performances are supported by the Sam Gilliam Foundation.
