MOUTHBRAIN

Performer 2, Fall 2021- Summer 2022

Written and Staged by Barnett Cohen

with Choreography by Lisa Fagan

MOUTHBRAIN is an hour-long two-person performance that documents and disassembles our pixelated present of anxious forces and neurotic tendencies through a dizzying combination of poetry, stylized movement, sonic play, and cinematic lighting. Originating out of a long-form poem composed by the artist Barnett Cohen, the performance synthesizes a range of urgent themes: climate grief, state violence, reparative justice, systems of bodily surveillance, cishet fundamentalism, and the meme-ification of political mood.
