Itamar Gov’s sculptural installations The Nursery and Olympia (CER.810) are part of Natural Acts by Perel at HAU Hebbel am Uber, Berlin (27/09/2024)
What happens when grief turns from a temporary feeling into a permanent state? In "Natural Acts", queer, disabled, interdisciplinary artist Perel and freelance artist and sign language choreographer Rita Mazza explore non-binary and non-linear forms of mourning, searching for strategies to make a sensual experience out of absence and loss. The piece shows how trauma and loss influence the brain and consequently our everyday actions by keeping the “never past” past alive. “Natural Acts” questions the prevailing culture of remembrance by employing physical experiences and offering the opportunity to confront the dark sides of oneself and of society. Taking place between September 27 – 30, the performance will feature Itamar Gov's sculptural installations The Nursery and Olympia (CER.810).
