Fatigue is a vocal and physical choral performance about the act of going forward, in a path that evokes both a climb and a procession. A plural body is engaged in a movement of physical and spiritual fatigue, where breathing and singing constitute the point of origin of the choreography. The metaphor of the ascent is usually employed to transmit the idea of accomplishing something, getting somewhere, or even conquering new spaces. But what if there's no peak to reach and this hyper-effort takes place on a horizontal level?
Fatigue choreographs bodies and voices engaged in keeping balance and stability even when forced off-axis or carrying extraordinary loads. This continuous matter of vocal and physical tension produces the constant reconstruction of the presence of this multi-headed body. This space can be a time of both struggle and mutual care, creating a common shelter and its subsequent dissolution, before the path continues beyond the spectators’ view.
