The PERFORMANCE INCORPORATES STAGINGS OF ALGORITHMICALLY MUTATED TEXTS
FROM LES MAMELLES DE TIRESIAS (The Tits of Tiresias), a gender queer
play for which the author, Guillaume Apollinaire, coined the word
surrealism in 1917. For the play’s centennial year, we will present
a work of mixed and augmented surreality in which virtual elements are
juxtaposed with objects, bodies and spaces via a smartphone app. In
Apollinaire’s play, Theresa transforms into a war like Tiresias
while her husband gives birth to 40,049 babies. To explore queer
reproduction, ATOM r is working choreographically with the Cornish
‘Obby ‘Oss festival, an annual fertility ritual in which a
masquerade horse is awakened by a night song and, following the day
long festivities, returned to his stable to die. Atom-r
