Come here dust and hair
The imaginative space between a piece of language and an intersection of commonly overlooked details in the environment is treated like a strange object that opens a distinct process of observation. Acting as both host and instigator, Litó Walkey continues to deal with the generative space among memory, presence and collective thinking. The audience is made complicit in a site of attention qualified by more than a single identifiable subject. Multiple intervals of return in alternating presentational modes foreground the co inhabitation of temporal, acoustic, spacial, physical and associative debris.
This work is rooted in an ongoing practice of creating language and movement events through strategies of collaboration, proliferation and translation. The performance is set in the almost-dark, similar to a concert. A single performer retells encounters and observations that took place at a different time, in a different place. The performed script and revisited memories refer to the language that was created with people and details who are not visible anymore.

About
Litó
Walkey is a Berlin based artist whose work
operates through performance, writing and choreography
exploring non-hegemonic
strategies for being connected,
resourceful, and response-able.
In
her work,
attentiveness
procedures emphasize
lateral and divergent thinking to
consider the radical potential of marginal, accidental, and less
visible phenomena. Collaborating through circuits of transversal interdisciplinary processes, Litó aims to create public
spaces for critical thinking and experimentation unbound by single
authorship, discipline or terminus.
Litó’s work has been supported through artistic commissions
from international choreographic performance festivals
and organizations.
The work is complimented
by ongoing
discourse and
practice-based exchange with colleagues and
students inside and outside academic environments.
