Words consolidate in the brain and get stuck in the throat. In the brain they swarm in the raw swamp of convulsive muteness, from which most will not escape. They fight one another shredding each other apart. They climb on top of one another desperate to emerge into the chilling chill of consciousness for a long enough time so they could crystallize as shape. A rescue line. At the very same time words consolidate in the throat and thrash the brain back. For the most part – the same one. sometimes they muscle up and invade relating brains, associate brains. Society happens thus in between throats. An autobiographic lecture performance piece that examines the connection between post trauma, movement disorders and the politics of visible movement and audible voice.
