Ausangate: a gaseous cosmology

Framer Framed

Teresa Borasino and Framer Framed Ausangate: a gaseous cosmology, a performance, a ceremony, a conversation with an earth-being, an ofrenda.

On the 27th and 28th of January, Teresa Borasino presents at Framer Framed Ausangate: a gaseous cosmology, a performance, a ceremony, a conversation with an earth-being, an ofrenda.Ausangate, the earth-being that is also a mountain, occupies a prominent role in the Andean cosmovision, as the source of all life, of prosperity or misfortune, of health or disease.Admission is free. Language: EnglishAbout the eventIn a conversation with Ausangate, Teresa Borasino attempts to remember those who faded into oblivion due to colonisation. The forgotten and historically oppressed communities of the Andes still carry their ancestral cosmovision’s wisdom, despite being obliged into a forced distinction between humanity and nature imposed by the dominant colonialist system.In the Andes, the ecological and relational cosmovision is put into practice through samay - a Quechua term referring to the sophisticated art of breathing, blowing, wheezing, smoking, gasping, and infusing life-essence into the world. The performance evokes and invokes ancestral relationships between human and more-than-human bodies and invites the audience to pay attention to and breathe into a gaseous cosmology.Concept and text: Teresa BorasinoSonic score and dramaturgy: Ibelisse Guardia FerraguttiProgrammeDay 1 - Friday 27 January 18:00 Doors open18:15 - 19:00 Offering Ceremony19:00 - 20:00 Performance20:00 - 20:30 Closing offering ceremonyOn the first day, prior to the performance, we will make an ofrenda, an offering ceremony to pay gratitude to the spacetime that sustains us.
