LET US STOP AND WEEP



LET US STOP AND WEEP (ongoing since 2000)

LET US STOP AND WEEP is a narrative-based participatory performance and installation/exhibition

It is a body of work, divided in short tales, based on the experience of uprooting and inspired by the poetry and life of Imru’l Qais – امرؤ القيس, a nomad Arab tribal king and author of one of seven famous “suspended poems” from the time of Jahiliyyah, the pre-Islamic era. 

It's composed by images, documents, archives, texts, audio-visual materials and objects placed on a central table and others scattered in the space.

Most elements presented do not participate in History, they do not have causes or effects; They’re just locked in their own reality and decaying in time. They are in a way a meditation on origins; its ruins and wanderings. Along the way, a sedimentation of narrations forms in collaboration with the audience and one's self starts to be defined by what identity has essentially lost and by a sense of oblivion.
