Elegy

A commemorative gesture, "Elegy" calls together a group of female vocal
performers, who collectively enact a ritual of mourning. The durational
performance sustains a sung cry-evoking the presence of an absent
individual. Responding to situations of extreme violence perpetrated
against women, as well as trans and non-binary people in South Africa,
each performance of "Elegy" recalls the identity of individuals whose
subjectivities have been fundamentally violated-questioning the all-tooeasy
consignments of a generic, all-encompassing victimhood.
