In this piece, I perform a manifesto I wrote titled “Zombie Cattle” while wearing different elements related to colonial relations between Brazil and the US, such as cattle, different kinds of Brazilian wood, and a flag of a constellation that can only be seen in the Southern hemisphere.
The text was written in Brazilian Sign Language and English, and I perform both languages at the same time. It discusses regurgitation, the zombie, and cannibalism as elements that carry a revolutionary potential.
