“What I am trying to achieve is to be what I am to the fullest –
black to the fullest, a musician to the fullest, and a homosexual to the fullest.”
Julius Eastman
JULIUS EASTMAN / THE UNBREATHING
OPENING BERLINER FESTSPIELE
“The Unbreathing” turns rhythm itself into a political subject. Uriel Barthélémi takes certain rhythmic scales derived from geopolitical and social analyses. The piece proposes a transversal, raw and radical way of reading the countless civilizational interrelations brought about by various colonisations and their ever-increasing destructive ingestion of imaginary worlds.
