“First, there are no consequences, and then there are only consequences.”

Exploring the mythologies on which corporate hegemonies are built, Crypto (Blue Marble) traces fantasies of empires with their undeniable ecological realities. A reckoning between billionaires and life itself, the performance questions the designed narrative of realities generated amidst a continuously evaporating world in which storylines dissolve, leak, and fold in on themselves. And loop. This performance is defined by the search for a form to bind fiction, poetry, and musical experience, while its narrative is influenced by technical instructions, lectures, and whispered conversations in which slippages and a floating focus creates new meanings in the listeners that were not intended by the speaker.

Crypto (Blue Marble) is the fourth movement in Holly Childs & Gediminas Žygus’ performance series, Hydrangea.

Additional performers are Cru Encarnação, Antanas Lučiūnas and bela.
