Join us for the opening of
~ LA TERRE’: My Likeness in Relics ~
by Luis Javier Murillo Zuñiga
on Thursday Nov 14, 19h!
In LA TERRE’: My Likeness in Relics, performance artist Luis Javier Murillo Zuñiga invites us by an abstract glimpse into the making of a complex character—a figure whose story unfolds through layers of joy, sorrow, and resilience, shaped by a fervent desire of a q***r dream belonging to the stage.
Beginning in the small countryside town of San Isidro de El General de Perez Zeledon, Costa Rica, where religion and societal moral consciousness prevail, this journey crosses to the theatrical environment of high-capitalism, with its performed riches and servitude, in the Hamptons, New York, and then takes on to Austria—land of hostility. Through La Terre‘, Luis delves into this transcontinental melodrama with the divine lens of „La Performancia“.
Working both as a comment on „western european aesthetics and the institutionalized idea of what fine art is“ and creating a space beyond, the video installation will serve as space for a performance on the opening evening and on Saturday for a collective pre-view of the latest episode of „Just Georgous – Beauty for Dead People“, a web series created by Berivan Sayici starring drag queens Baba Gnoushé and La Terre’, who will be present to join the audience.
Duration: Nov 14-24, 2024 (opening times: Wed+Thu+Sat 14-18h, and by appointment)
Opening: Thu Nov 14, 19h – with a performance at 20h!
Screening: Sat Nov 16, 18h – latest episode(s) of „Just Georgous – Beauty for Dead People“
