Moirai
performative sound environment
Moirai (2024) performative environment created in collaboration with Celestina Minichova and Martin Kosorín.
Moirai, involves stones, sand, water, metal structures, strings, constructions, and cables and draws inspiration from Greek mythology. Like the Moirai—the Fates of Greek myth who spin, measure, and cut the threads of life—this performative piece symbolically unwinds multifaceted destinies and potential futures, offering interpretations that reflect the climate crises we currently face.
The piece operates with an interactive mechanism: when water drips onto a stone, it closes an electrical circuit, which then activates a sound. This sound could be anything from the resonance of loosely tuned strings, the hum of curved metal rods, or even a “prophecy” from the Moira that speaks to the unpredictable outcomes of our collective actions. The sounds, like the fates, are inherently fluid and open to the audience’s influence; they can be reshaped, redirected, fulfilled, or left incomplete, mirroring the ways in which we navigate our lives and choices.
As the piece unfolds, we slowly uncover our potential futures, discovering a sense of collective tranquility amidst the chaotic blend of sounds, predictions, and interconnected moments. The Greek concept of *Kaos*, or chaos, permeates the installation, symbolizing the raw potential and disorder from which all creation emerges. Ultimately, the piece invites viewers to reflect on destiny, choice, and the elusive balance between order and chaos, sparking conversations about our shared humanity in an unpredictable world.
Perform at @dihan.happening, topic CRISIS.
