Verité

At the beginning of 2000 during a 9 month residency as visiting artists at the Department of Performance of the Queen Mary University in London we wrote a 50 minute mini fake-opera/novela for 1 voice, electronics and piano called Verité. Here is some of rare footage the piece which tells the story of 2 Brazilian passport forgers & a French privileged student who crossed paths in Paris in 1968. 

File under white bureaucracy, multi-nationalities, sex maniacs, l'écriture et la différence, visas, cultural grants and bursaries, socialism, sublimations, de-sublimations,1968.

Performed at the Harold Painter studio at Queen Mary University, London, Feb 2000.

CHUPA MINHA FAVELA

If you have experienced the “frontiers" & been interrogated & checked & stamped as an unofficial cultural creature by the 'officials'... there’s nothing naif about Chibundu Onuzo's article for the Guardian as some are saying.Only a select few with certain hues of passport can move freely on this Earth. Only the elect can travel and work with ease anywhere on the planet. The comments below are truly disgusting....& reproduce with fidelity the sea of prejudice, discrimination and hate that still surrounds immigration.

DREAM BABY DREAM DREAM FOR FREE
FOR FREE FALL Chupa minha favela lick it all.
