Tears and Thyroid Notch
by Davide Bugarin & Angel Cohn Castle
Performance, 15 minutes
at City Art Centre, Edinburgh
7 March 2025
“A storm erupts, and in the dark, a larynx is searched for. A wedding speech ushers in precision, examination and being shaped. A newly feminised voice is forged, competing to be heard against thunder. A falling tear is re-constructed, amplified, and guided. Shame and transformation occupy this triptych of control and loss, authenticity and artifice, shaping and being shaped. This work-in-progress performance emerges from Davide & Angel’s longer-term projects on public shaming parades, the gothic, and the gendered voice. Featuring new music made with Kalye Teresa, and a tincture made with real tears.”
