Colonialism : The Weight of Sound

One figure amplifies the sounds of consumption — eating, dragging, breathing — while the other receives what remains: noises, objects, pressure.

The piece reflects colonial structures through metaphor. Who is heard. Who is silenced. Who controls the narrative. The performers’ interaction reveals the tension between voice and voicelessness, dominance and survival — an echo of the historical and contemporary weight of colonial reality.
