Hissing Organs is a performance that listens into the raw material of the organs and their resonant cavities. A transdisciplinary proposal that dialogues between live arts, dance, and sculpture, it explores connections between organic sensorialities, vocalization, and the performative body, along with sculptures that conjure a range of organic textures and sonorities. A study of the anatomical, sonic, and affective qualities of the internal organs (lungs, liver, skin, heart…) lays the foundation for exploring tactility, viscosity, and the transversal elements of fluids and the breath. What is the relationship between the internal and external? Where is the boundary between matter and body? And when do these margins collapse? Fleshy sacks that hang, pockets that quiver with the circulation of air, bodies that sigh, sing, melt, and compose themselves again. In Hissing we try to touch this mysterious inside in order to let sing what is yet unsaid, to converse with the unknown inside and outside ourselves.

The first iteration of Hissing Organs involved a collection of inflatable objects and focused on the development of choreographic materials relating to pulmonic and cellular breath, expansion and contraction, and viscosity.
