EYELIDLESS

This multidisciplinary live performance by YAMILA is streamed from the artist’s home. The daily spaces transform into the site of a mystical encounter with what is beyond its walls. Decentralizing the stage and the performing artist, the piece challenges the notion of the concert. The performance combines oneiric images from the artist’s imagination by playing pieces of her new album, and mysterious sonic landscapes. We will enter this performance by travelling through the archives of YAMILA’s computer, passing through the nooks and crannies of her home to arrive at the point of ecstasy and disincarnation. In times of social isolation and tiresome repetition, EYELIDLESS submerges the audience into the intimate and magical world of musical creation that hides in the cracks of the everyday — and indeed, transforms it, showing that art is not a luxury but a necessity.
