Tak Topuk / Tak Heel

​​

a Queer Sound Performance

 

An OutLoud Dialog between self-conflicting two hairy high heels on an amplified runway and an unplugged drum set.

​

A Primitive Duello of cliches.

​

Hyper Binary beats of contradictory unities.

​

Androgynous performer who carries the signs of two main stream genders, plays high heel shoes with its feet on a runway that is amplified with contact mics. Each leg acting independently,  step together or against each other.  Intuitive moves of their conflict echoes in the space as primitive beats.

​

A drummer behind the performer, responds to the high heel beats with the traditional set up of a masc drum set. They improvise a Duello. The Sound of A battle where there is no winner.
