Eating bones and Licking Bread

Moving between what is precious and what is disposable

Eating bones and Licking bread works with the body, texture and sound. It plays with sustained images that change in meaning. Questions around the colonial system of preserving hunger and consuming land and body anchors the artist inside of the work. Inside the ongoing recovery.

Moving between what is precious and what is disposable, the artist Lara Kramer proposes the solo performance as a state of being close to her public and to deepen her listening to the collective sensations and reactions. It gives attention to the imbalances that occur. A minimal soundtrack of field recordings and textures stirs and provokes the physically marked landscape, like an apocalyptic ballad. We fall to the ambiguity in the dreaming, in the live performance.

Eating bones and Licking bread was first showcased at Dancemakers during the Flowchart series in November 2018 curated by Amelia Ehhrhardt. It since has since been presented and  further developed at the Festival International d’Art Performance 2nd Edition November 5th-12th 2019 at the Musée d’Archéologie Précolombienne et de Préhistoire de la Martinique and Lycée Centre Sud de Ducos High School | FIAP, Martinique co-curated by Annabel Guérédrat and Henri Tauliaut.
