Latai Taumoepeau, the ANTI Festival Prize for Live Art winner 2022, presents a new work created in collaboration with Hanna Cormick, Elin Kåven, Madeleine Flynn and Tim Humphrey.
With this body I remember, with this body I re-wild is a new work developed by Latai Taumoepeau, winner of the ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art 2022, commissioned by ANTI Festival for its 2023 edition.
With this body I remember, with this body I rewild is a slow, live ritual.
Artists Latai and Hanna Cormick dissolve notions of individual space, physical borders and time. Leading an exploration of inhabiting their ancestral stories with collaborators Elin Kåven and Madeleine Flynn and Tim Humphrey.
Guided by the Peräniemi peninsula to remember beings from the depths of the Mōana/Pacific Ocean and Sápmi/Arctic Forest across digital live stream technology to connect us in Finland to Hanna in Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country Australia. Moving through a small forest surrounded by a lake on the edge of the city of Kuopio, we awaken our sensitivities to embody a place these artists have never walked before. Collectively, we practise a performance of the body that is oceanic, arctic, disabled and diaspora, belonging to complex ecosystems that require our active attention and participation.
