The audio-visual performance Measuring Narrative With Water uses language as a measuring tool: how closely does it approximate what we want to tell?<\/p>\n
In the 1920s, Knud Heckscher, Sirah Foighel Brutmann\u2019s great-grandfather, describes his experiences while traveling by waterways from Copenhagen to Bangkok and back. Heckscher\u2019s succinct descriptions of his experiences reveal colonial white man\u2019s fear of the unknown. At the same time, he feels threatened by an imported anti-Semitism. Foighel Brutmann performs excerpts from the letters in different languages, retellings, and accents.<\/p>\n
With electronic effects and acoustic sounds, performed live by Eitan Efrat, the makers emphasize the physicality of the different languages used by Foighel Brutmann. On a screen we see text, projections of black-and-white photographs Heckscher took in Bangkok, and colorful video footage of watery phenomena. What fluids pass through us and affect us? To what extent are we responsible for the histories we inherit?<\/p>\n
