First Developed at Black Box Weathermxn at On The Boards. This work utilizes biomythographic
performance practices that center a Manananggal, an Aswang spirit. These demonized
creatures can sever at its waist and disembody as a choice. In reverence to 1970s
public access TV, Moonyeka and collaborators use hotline numbers as an autofictitious
device to channel the first media recorded protest of sex worker rights in France
in 1975. Moonyeka and collaborators time travel to 1975 and beyond using “moneyshot”
tableaus and green screen magic. The soundscore is inspired by the 8 day occupation
in a church of Lyon.
