Testimony for the Living (Or, Metabolic Theater)

“Borborygmus is predicated on relentless narratives—personal, impersonal, fictional, true—of each actor’s lived experiences, memories, and mismemories. It is in these narratives that we can locate, actually, not merely the facts surrounding violent acts, but the effects of violence upon the entire social body, its nervous system.” With particular attention to affective and metabolic processes, scholar André Lepecki reviews Borborgymous, a new theater work about “life, death and the digestive system” by Mazen Kerbaj, Lina Majdalanie, and Rabih Mroué, which premiered at the Walker in January.

Rabih Mroué: Life, Death, and the Digestive System

“It’s not about remembering or forgetting, it is about both together, and how they work together—how we remember, how we forget, what we invent, what we remember.”  In conversation with Allie Tepper, theater-maker and visual artist Rabih Mroué discusses his three-part series for the stage and gallery, including his latest cycle of artworks Again we are defeated, the “non-academic lecture” Sand in the Eyes, and the Walker-commissioned world-premiere of Borborygmous, a work made in collaboration with Lina Majadalanie and Mazen Kerbaj that takes its title from the name for the rumbling of the stomach.
