The sun rises in the middle of the night and begins to reflect aloud upon beauty and kindness and cruelty and evil and light and dark. As they speak, the sun prepares chilaquiles of slivers of hand-written poetry slathered in salsa verde or salsa roja, and passes them around the audience. Each person is invited to take hold of a ray of sunshine and share a memory from a sunny day. Through collective storytelling, a communion is facilitated reflecting upon diverse themes including illness, racial identity, nurture and negligence, and the (im)possibility of hope in the Anthropocene. Performance produced at Casa Viva Gallery, Mexico City, February 2020 on the occasion of Artvismo MX festival of activist art.
