A BODY (SUR)RENDERS/UN CUERPO (SE)RINDE BY ANTO ASTUDILLO a Hybrid Film Screening & Live Performance TRT 60 min. Showing Saturday August 13 and Sunday August 14 8pm, at Millennium Film Workshop 167 Wilson Ave, Brooklyn, NY Tickets $10
A Body (sur)renders/Un Cuerpo (se)rinde is a psychophysical (term coined from my theater practice) hybrid film screening & live performance where images, audio and movement are intertwined for the audience to experience it as a single synchronized piece. The films included, shot over the past 4 years, are a testimony of many transitions in my life and where I manifest my identity as trans nonbinary. The performance pieces connect and expand the films to make my personal/artistic process a tangible experience for the audience.
