I Am a Victim of This Song

Lu Chieregati + Marja Christians

Two divas sink into drama, pop ballads, and fractured opera arias. Draped in baroque excess, they navigate unresolved affects through episodic encounters, erratic dances, and unstable vocal alliances. At times comic, at times monstrous, they collide, sing, laugh, unravel, and cling to one another in breathless surges of feeling.

Between them opens a porous in-between: a shifting terrain where dismantled arias echo, choreographies mutate, and subjectivities blur. In this suspended space, excess becomes method and resonance becomes relation.
