performance

Hyperstones is a performance that unfolds as a shifting field of sediment — traces of ancient coastal landscapes, reimagined as spaces for encounter. It is a search for interfaces: points where stone, body, and emerging low-tech intelligences meet to form hybrid constellations of matter and life.
The work questions the rigid models of capital that demand constant productivity, asking what other rhythms and desires might emerge when we attune to the temporality of stones. These lithic companions invite us into states of becoming — complex networks where the human is no longer at the center.
Through sound, movement, and sculptural presence, Hyperstones explores disorientation as a necessary gesture. What does it mean to listen to the desires of stones? How might both human and non-human bodies be affected in this dialogue?
