Residency showing From a throat of flesh
Concept and initiative: Moa Franzén
Performed and created together with Kajsa Wadhia and Tove Salmgren
Free admission
From a throat of flesh is a polyphony of voices exploring the voice beyond speech. We will move through voiced expressions that, socially and historically, have been subject to acts of disciplining and ”civilizing”, taken as pretext to categorize people as barbaric, brute and hysterical. Our voices are our sounding flesh. A choir, but not for singing. Voices, not speaking. We will howl, hum, bark and croon through the ideological landscape that speech and language has tied the voice to.
Concept and initiative: Moa Franzén
Performed and created together with Kajsa Wadhia and Tove Salmgren
Woodcut: Magnus Dahl
With support from The Swedish Arts Grants Comittee and Stockholms stad
Co-production: Köttinspektionen Dans
Moa Franzén (b. 1985) is an artist and writer based in Stockholm. Her practice encircles writing and performance and places itself in and between visual arts, choreography and literature. Franzéns work evolves around the relation between language and violence, rethorics and ideology, body and power – most often with writing as the base, voice as the tool and performance as form. Franzén works within curatorial collaborations where the organization of temporary spaces for exhange, conversation and perfomance is of key interest. At the moment she is involved in the curatorial constellation We Happen Things together with the choreographers and dancers Tove Salmgren and Manon Santkin, and the seminar project Flacka together with visual artist Sofia Magdalena Eliasson. Franzén has a BA in Visual Arts from The Royal Institute of Art and Kunstakademiet in Bergen, and a MA in Choreography from New Performative Practices at DOCH.
