ICHOR
20 min.
In a room smelling like a faint memory of something beautiful the three performers struggle with their equal despise and desire for individualism, power, loneliness and being loved. Words are all over them. How to build one self? How to maintain opacity and yet find the intimacy of being part of something good? They are dressed in pieces of fabric with slogans and statements combined into perfect collages of residue. An overflow of thought and capitalism, once t-shirts, then rags for cleaning pipes in oil engines, now a garment that seems to tell us more accurately who we are, than we could have imagined.
Ichor is an ethereal fluid that makes up the blood of the gods and is toxic to humans. In pathology the word was previously a term for the foul-smelling, watery fluid from a wound.
