Difficult Digestions - Performance
Line up: Lina Bravo Mora

Difficult Digestions: being leaky, permeable and porous is a new performance and workshop developed by visual artist, clay and soil researcher Lina Bravo Mora. Both open up the decomposing worlds of mud, using migrating and stationary sediments from various water bodies in the Netherlands.

Performance, Saturday 10 October 2026, 16-18hr

Somewhere between a lecture performance and a music-poetic incantation, the performance “lands” us in the soil through geological storytelling and deep time.  Accompanied by accordionist Luis Gabriel Kammerer Teran, Lina Bravo Mora takes us across different tidal scales, listening closely to the sediments, their memories, stories and inevitable toxicities.

Workshop, Sunday 11 October 2026, 15-17hr

The following day, the same muds will be used for a writing workshop that invites participants to touch and consult with the different clays, bringing their muddy sensations into words.

The project is part of If I Can't Dance's ongoing programme Tidal Gatherings, organized in collaboration with curator and researcher Chandra Frank since 2024.
