Artist and musician Geo Wyeth presents this live performance, transmitted over the internet, including segments of a large-scale poem and theater piece that is currently under development. During the performance, Wyeth will move in and out of character, exploring the boundaries around the poem's key figure as well as the meeting point (and potential clashes) between theater and video as modes of engagement. The performance is a constellational body employing inherited diasporic/American funk and folk poetics, and techniques of investigative journalism. The project connects mud, water, metal, gas, ass, rocks, coins, extractive industry, deep coloniality, and sensual expression of belonging to that flood. The performance will be followed by a Q&A with the artist.
