INTERVENTIONS: MY TONGUE IS A BLADE
June 19-20, 2026
Colonels Row, Governors Island
New York, NY
What are the limits of our attention, and how do those limits test the strength of our bonds? my tongue is a blade is a three-hour movement performance-practice rooted in relation, memory, and reflection. Four performers commit to remembering one another, holding one another, bearing one another, and sustaining the world that contains them. A rich visual and sonic landscape invites the audience to witness this shared practice and to resonate within it.
