One day I will make the onion cry
In One day I will make the onion cry, Beyond the Spoken creates a poetic landscape where the connection between onion overproduction, solastalgia, and the hermeneutics of our tears becomes tangible.
Theatre house De Expeditie at Dok Noord in Ghent is transformed into a place where one can embrace the grief about the things that will someday disappear. Victoria Deluxe invites the audience to ritually donate a tear to the solacing archive of Beyond the Spoken.
One Day I Will Make the Onion Cry is a creation as part of the 20th anniversary of BERLIN, house artist at: the onion machine from Land's End (2011) is transported into a new story.
