Held in Human II: Rose in Your Brain at HeadRead festival.
Flower seed inside you
Rose inside you
Flowering and prickling
Rose in your brain
Something is changing, I can no longer make sense of what here means, as I increasingly feel that while I am here, I am also always a little bit there. There, where my thoughts are, there where my imagination roams — and not only mine, but someone else’s as well, simultaneously. It is real. I am always inside a body, in this form that makes me visible and touchable; yet I am also always in a space, where no one can see me. It is a space of thought, an invisible space, but also an ever-present network, a movement. I am present, held in human.
‘Held in Human II: Rose in Your Brain’ is a mixed reality performance, a collective thought space where linguistic thinking meets the instinctive physique. It is a physical reading experience, choreography of thoughts that you can experience within your own body using mixed reality glasses. Plug in — let your body and thoughts carry you.
The European premiere of the performance "Held in Human II: Rose in Your Brain" took place on October 26-27, 2024 at the Performing Arts & Digitalität (PAD) festival in Wiesbaden, Germany, and the Estonian premiere of the performance took place on November 14, 2024 at the University of Tartu Library.
