container remains touch ed soft reality but remember make an effort to remember or failing that invent sun cut a lover s dictionary is a lexicon of 366 gestures that attempts to embody the 366 entries in lesbian peoples materials for a dictionary written by monique wittig and sandie zeig 1979 in an act of speculative reanimation sun cut is an anticipatory document remembering a future yet to arrive the work unfurls word by word body by body each iteration of the performance progresses through the dictionary gathering bodies gestures dances it resists linguistic fixity in order to embrace language as a site of transformation refusal and reinvention inverting the status of printed material in archival practices sun cut asks how the body can be both a site and means of preservation lesbian peoples material for a dictionary is a speculative dictionary that dismantles patriarchal language to posit a world of lesbian relation through fragmented definitions and poetic inventions it reframes language as a site of resistance its entries range from definitions of everyday terms to elaborate accounts of mythical events political movements and cultural practices the book itself is a queer critique of linguistic authority and its role in enforcing dominant ideologies wittig and zeig subvert the dictionary s normal function as a tool of mastery and control and reshape it into a generative field where language destabilises its own conditions of use building on these foundations sun cut approaches lesbian peoples not simply as a book but as a practice a framework for reorganising the body through language concept choreography and performance chloe chignell sound collaborations steph holl trieu essen vienna paris münster amina szecsödy paf st erme and mara

movements have the quality of a mirage smooth like a video buffering this collective hallucination is sustained drawing us deeper into the unspectacular yet hypnotising repetition the clarity of chloe s movement is breathtaking like an alchemic reaction simple movements are transfigured into fabulating imaginative images their dense simplicity prompts my own interpretations she is on horseback hair blowing across her nape with landscape rolling beyond or tongue out sprung like a gargoyle warding off bad spirits chloe traces the desire to know and the surrender of never being able to from ear to ear by marie backmann tqw blog it is a martial folding fragmented definitions repetitions an elaborate choreography translating language into bodily memory a text is a series of letters signifiers that link together to form repetitive chains of meaning a dance can be a series of gestures almost like writing the dictionary is a drafted score for definition is a neverending translation it is the passing on of history of myth as history at the center of the room in its geometry of gazes chignell continues to bend fingers in all sorts of directions not to tell a story but to lay out the elements of it from which any stories of the amazonian peoples can be generated revived and regenerated three hours pass we witness the process of overwriting w z c h the whole thing feels like gathering before a battle getting ready arming oneself defending oneself as i am searching for the meaning in the gestures for a narrative for a connection within the chain of signifiers suddenly a
