Two performers enter into discourse with a disparate series of images, and seek to impart their own transcripNon in space. The body and (micro-)movements co-exist with curious objects and materials to act as a means of sound production. The material is intensified, exploded, paused, repeated, and distorted in order to bolster the sound experience. “MOS” is a scenic game operating in among the conspicuous and hidden relations that exist between movement, sound, and image, amplifying narratives that arise out of the mutual interplay and co- existence of seemingly incongruous archival sources, thus bringing visibility to elements that cannot easily be seen, or heard.
