Interdisciplinary Collaborative Performance with Joss Carter
The Body Is a Tomb
The Body Is a Tomb is a multidisciplinary performance by artist Joss Carter, in collaboration with sound artist Jose Macabra. This performance aims to explore the depths of the human psyche through the themes of burial and resurrection. Through a combination of sedative and meditative elements, it seeks to uncover the treasures and curses of humanity, while giving birth to new creative concepts. The performance delves into the concept of reincarnation and the transformation of the self, ultimately creating a new identity known as “Your Worst Nightmare”.
