JUSTIN TALPLACIDO SHOULDER & THE FUTURE FOLKLORE COLLECTIVE: ANITO

In the organizer's words:

After his acclaimed performance with CARRION in 2019, Justin Talplacido Shoulder returns to Kampnagel with a new, visually stunning performance ritual. ANITO combines animist mythology, queer bodies, handmade masks and electronic soundscapes. As a Filipino-Australian artist, Shoulder traces the spirits of nature that, according to Filipino tradition, are inherent in everything - the Anitos. The performance ANITO sees itself as "future folklore". The focus is on the significance of nature spirits, with whom ANITO enters into resonance in order to imagine possible parallel futures. On stage, wondrous ecologies emerge from a mutable, fertile landscape body - built by hands, animated by bodies. Megafauna dances through deep time. A ghost appears, tracing the path of humanity and setting it in a retrograde spiral. The seasons change - in a world full of horror and beauty. Created in Sydney's queer underground clubs, the performance on stage transforms into a speculative ritual for other possible futures - roots from the ancestral underworld explode the foundations of colonial order.
