Lazarus Lingua - The Hide Project, January 2018.

Performance of ‘Lazarus Lingua’ for research group, as part of ‘An Urgent Enquiry’ with Fingal Arts Office.

A performance of my text performative work ‘Lazarus Lingua’, which is a recitation of extinct animals from 4000 to present day (or in this case 2018). The pronunciation of latin within the piece has some subtle changes, using pronunciations of classical latin rather than scientific latin, so from when latin was a living language. The work functions as a kind of invocation of the dead.

This performance took place at Garrett Phelan’s Hide Project, In North County Dublin, in January 2018, as part of research for ‘An Urgent Enquiry’ art project, on climate change, with Fingal Arts Office. Extract below.
