Ivu'kar is a multidisciplinary performance combining contemporary music, text, movement and film in an immersive experience. For his residency at the Kulturfabrik, the Portuguese artist Grilo will be accompanied by his long-time collaborator, the dancer and artist Inês Campos.
His new piece Ivu'kar explores the intimate and political dimensions of the mother-child relationship and the space of care through rituals, habits and autobiographical moments. During their residency, the two artists will work on the interaction between movement and text, looking at ways of fleshing out texts transcribed in Morse code.
The groundwork for the project is a text co-written by João Grilo and his mother, based on an imaginary language they began to invent together during the artist's childhood. Inspired by Paul Valéry's poetic phrase “What would we be without the help of that which doesn't exist”, Ivu'kar attempts to make the subliminal tangible, translating it into light, movement, Morse code, piano and shared rituals.
