Performance

–

Mudam collaborates with TONO Festival to co-produce a large-scale performance by Mexican artist Bárbara Sánchez-Kane (1987, Merida). The artist’s work spans fashion, performance, painting and installation, deconstructing the anxieties and fears of daily life to question pleasure and domination within a hegemonic masculine society. Envisioned as a space of mutable symphonies, the performance draws on the Mexican tradition of drinking horchata as a metaphor for collectivity. Created by Sánchez-Kane in collaboration with poets, artists, musicians and performers, the piece will evolve throughout its journey across disciplines and geographies. The performance will premiere at the third edition of TONO Festival in Mexico City in March 2025, followed by a presentation at Mudam during the Luxembourg Museum Days on 17 and 18 May 2025.
