‘Tongue PhD’ at Playground


Thursday 19 November 2015, 8.30pm / Friday 20 November 2015, 9pm / Playground (STUK Kunstencentrum & M-Museum), Leuven

On Saturday 28 October the artist Myriam Lefkowitz will present Ieva Misevičiūtė, Master in Political Science, Master in Cultural Analysis, will finally get her PhD, in one hour, right in front of you, granted by her tongue! The tongue bares the memory of the animal, the instinctual, but also is the main tool with which we express our humanness. It is a bridge between madness and intelligence. Tongue PhD consists of ten chapters each investigating a different metaphoric lens of the tongue. This solo piece fuses elements of physical theater, academic reverie, dance and Butoh, structured in the format of a PhD dissertation.
