MANILA CITTÀ APERTA INTRAMUROS - Water Monument Pasig, a performance at Fort Santiago and Dust Monument Real a video installation with projection on Puerta Real.
Memory, intersecting histories, performing bodies and performing sites. Violence and tenderness. Past, present, life and death. Wars, dictatorships but also love : a variation on a theme. One horrid, the other full of hope. All waters communicate. So this is the perfect site to remember, but also to look forward. United. Water, dust, flowers, red and yellow ribbons on the anniversary day of the Battle of Manila.
