Trelkovsky, the main character in Roman Polanski’s 1976 psychological thriller, The Tenant, is literally a tenant: a person who rents an apartment from a landlord. While, this term is useful in its literal sense, the figurative definition of a tenant as anyone who occupies space that does not wholly belong to her or him offers more substantive insight to Trelkovsky’s state. His body: a tenant to his mind; his mind: the product of a complex socialization process within a political, moral, and economic cultural framework. Through film, sound and performance, several artists will attempt to explore, challenge and disrupt the cultural narratives that socialize us into relationships with our bodies, as well as the political economies in which these narratives are constructed in a nonlinear format and immersive environment.

An “Exquisite Corpse” combines documentary, fiction and experimental film-making as it traverses the social and landscape of a region struggling between modernity and tradition. It explores ritual and performance from festivals to everyday life combining the real and the surreal, the fantastical and the banal, that which is vital and that which is purely entertainment. The reenactment of rituals within changing crowds and contexts illuminates the complex striving for understanding and for giving meaning to the small acts of everyday life. They also glimpse the need for release and catharsis. The myths, as torrid and exuberant as the geography, are often more concrete than reality and during the autopsy the corpse itself reveals something more repugnant than death, the submission of the living to it. This fantastical collective biography explores the psyche of an individual reflecting a multitude. It immerses into a dense mythological universe by narrating the life of a being in the process of unbeing, a character becoming a corpse.

Un “Cadáver Exquisito” que combina el documental, la ficción y el cine experimental, al atravesar el panorama social y onírico de una región que lucha entre la modernidad y la tradición. Explora los rituales y representaciones, desde festivales hasta el diario vivir, combinando lo real y lo surreal, lo fantástico y lo banal, lo que es vital y lo que es puramente entretenimiento. La recreación de rituales con diferentes públicos y contextos, ilumina el complejo esfuerzo por entender y por darle significado a los pequeños actos del diario vivir. Ellos también vislumbran la necesidad de liberación y catarsis. Los mitos tan tórridos y exuberantes como la geografía, son a menudo más concretos que la realidad y durante la autopsia, el cadáver revelará algo más repugnante que la muerte, la sumisión de los vivos a ella. Esta fantástica biografía colectiva explora la psique de un individuo como reflexión de su colectivo. Se introduce a un universo denso y mitológico al narrar la vida de un ser en el proceso de cesar de ser, de un personaje convirtiéndose en un cadáver.
