notes of a suicidal primate

performance

a textual performance and the ultimate gasp within preciado’s universe, notes of a suicidal primate borrows its title from the book written during the creation process, embodying a deep immersion in the philosopher’s thoughts. bereft of eloquence, i granted the body one final outpouring of words, one final gasp, an attempt to articulate the complex relationship not merely with his ideas, but with the way they began to materialize in space. love, death, and distance intertwine in this last solo endeavor, a poignant farewell.
