Faster than light, always is a sound and choreography piece commissioned by Wonder Cabinet, bringing together British-Palestinian movement artist Sasha Shadid ساشا شديد, Palestinian movement artist Adan Azzam عدن عزام and Ramallah-based interdisciplinary artist Julmud جُلموْد.
It is part of Wonder Cabinet’s ongoing body of work exploring the Cremisan Valley through architectural, sonic, visual and ecological investigations.
The performance speaks to the aesthetics of the Cremisan Valley and to the ways in which occupation forces have been encroaching upon one of the last remaining green spaces around Bethlehem, further suffocating its community. More broadly, it uses the body as a medium for claiming the land, embodying its ample and smooth curves, its terraces, and the bearing trees it cradles.
Wonder Cabinet presented this production developed in the framework of Sounds of Places 2024, an annual residency-based sound gathering exploring the sonic aesthetics of place initiated and curated by Wonder Cabinet and transmitted through Radio AlHara.
Following its development in Palestine, the performance is now co-presented in London by Mosaic Rooms and Another Sky.
The performance will take place in Mosaic Rooms’ garden (weather permitting).
