 Aftermath of Speeches

November 15, 2026 - 5:30 PM

Presentation House Theatre - Studio, North Vancouver

Duration: 45 min performance

Produced by WHY WHISPER in collaboration with Rafael Zen and Khalil Alomar, exploring fractured language and sensory abstraction.

 

Description

A multimedia performance combining sound collage, live improvisation, and video art. Languages are fractured, layered, and transformed into abstract sonic material, moving through Portuguese, Arabic, Spanish, and English. Drawing from news, texts, and critical theory, the work distorts speech into rhythm, gesture, and resonance. In a world where communication is unstable, it explores perception, meaning, and political realities. The performance invites audiences into an immersive space of fragmentation, abstraction, and sonic experimentation.

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour this land's ancient and contemporary narratives. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xΚ·mΙ™θkΚ·Ι™yΜ“Ι™m (Musqueam), SαΈ΅wxΜ±wú7mesh (Squamish), and sΙ™lilwΙ™taΙ¬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from this land's stories.
