ARTAUD 1: LENGUA ∞ MADRE was a performance that attempted to approach certain aspects of the poetics and psyche of Antonin Artaud in an interdisciplinary way.
Using non-traditional narrative, this joint venture by Gabo Ferro and Emilio García Wehbi showed possible landscapes made of matter and certain objects belonging to the French poet, under the influence of a past session of electroshock; a contemporary altarpiece made of orphan words, like motherless children; bodies disciplined by the mechanics of order, seeking to free themselves through cannibalism; school notes subject to psychological diagnosis; music that finds its lost sound through Henry Purcell; sacrificed animals in the name of the Father, among others.
