Event Description

The Turquoise Lounge is a work that examines the physical and emotional territories of allegiance. Inspired by a true event, The Turquoise Lounge is a laboratory of linguistic confrontations, visceral resignations, and voracious appropriations following a small group of travelers detained at airport customs. Placed deliberately in an intimate setting, the audience is visibly caught within nets of bewildering and puzzling interdependencies. It is these characters’ desperate search for the familiar, resistance to change, and perverse need to connect that simultaneously reconfirms and dismantles stereotypes of the Middle Eastern and Western diaspora respectively.

“The whole piece occupies an area of comic limbo where it's never completely clear what is genuine and what is satirical, from the heavily accented English to the commentary to the dance solo itself, though clearly Javedani is one sharp woman.” - Quinn Batson, offoffoff.com

WE LIVE WITHIN AN UNSTABLE LANDSCAPE

This is a social networking website connecting people concerned about innovation and experimentation on art, dance, embodiment, cognition, science, networks, post-humanism, media and the unstable landscape of contemporary culture and life.

We are in a transitional phase and refocusing the network with a broader interdisciplinary framework. It will reflect a contemporary community interacting and embedded unstablelandscape.

This network is maintained and administrated by Marlon Barrios Solano as an independent art/curatorial/social innovation project.
