Marvelous Discourse (2009)

Language passes through the body meaty corporeal and breathing Do you adopt the stereotypically male strategy of verbally lunging at your opponent trying to skewer him rhetorically or do you adopt the feminine approach like the Oracle of Delphi and open your body to allow voices from the beyond to speak through you Marvelous Discourse uses cave art shadow puppets and a visit to a caf in the Israeli town of Endor among many other images to explore the gendered experience of languageinthebody The text for the video is completely improvised by the actors as a spectacular example of language unfolding from an intuitive physicality
