Dramatic Episodes About Locomotion
"Dramatic Episodes About Locomotion" is an ongoing project that began in 2014, which explores myths, histories, and ideologies through a variety of aesthetic forms such as poems, prose, narrative, oral storytelling, and religious rhetoric. The project intertwines personal anecdotes with historical events, featuring both real and imagined protagonists. Through the use of fictitious personae, the project aims to crystallize collective desires. The result is a speculative historiography that relies on conspiracy theories, plays, and dramas, as well as facts. It is a performative essay that unfolds historical truth as an encounter between an event and its manifold mediation. The project conceptually re-examines the opposition between materialist and cultural vision of history through different social phenomena such as religion, gender, nationalism, and identity. It uses stories from the medieval era as a paradigm to understand contemporary issues.
