Tongues of Stone
performance
posted on 2023-05-25, 12:51 authored by Hannah, DA site-sensitive dance project, Tongues of Stone transforms Perth into a network of stories experienced through movement, sound and imagery. Led from underground to riverview, the mobile audience maps the city and its invisible histories, through a soundscape of multiple voices. A woman who has lost her tongue struggles to communicate with her newly wed sister; another reads her body like the map of a city that is both foreign and familiar; a chorus of water-carriers remember and trace tributaries of ancient wetlands; and a girl-band plays their bodies like angry instruments against the concrete facades. Tongues of Stone re-imagines Perth as a place of many stories streaming through its streets, laneways and civic sites.
