MIRRORED FATALITY: LABUAD MEKLOOQ

September 28 8:00 pm 11:30 pm

Doors at 8pm; performance at 9:30pm

It’s 3034 on ECOCIDE 3URTH, and the corpses of natural ecosystems of planet Earth murdered by apathetic humans and artificial intelligence are seeking vengeance. A transmuted species formed from the lava eruption of Mount Pinatubo, a dormant stratovolcano awakened after 500 years on Philippines’ Araw ng Kalayaan during U.S.A’s occupation and the ruins of floods and cyclones of post-partition South Asia after British rule are born – the labuad me looks.

mirrored fatality: Láwû Makuriye’nte & Samar Dagger bring to Human Resources LABUAD MEKLOOQ, a live biohacking performance in which the cross disciplinary performance punk duo transmutes as labuame looksqs— a multispecies of beaststerritoriesds, and transhumans in their immersive biome ECOCIDE 3URTH. Experimenting for this immersive installation/performance with decolonial regeneration as their voice, wearable sculptures, and movement trigger an industrial and noise live score with vocals in Kapampangan, Urdu, and English. The material pulls from the duo’s album LABUAD MEKLOOQ, released in 2024, and their internationally screened mixed-reality films.

This project is the 2023-2024 Commission by Boss Witch Productions, an artistic production company focused on the intersection of experimental sound art, ritual performance, video art, and transmedia collaboration within natural landscapes and unusual performance sites founded in 2021. This year’s commission in partnership with mirrored fatality features creative collaborations with 24+ international Trans, Queer, QTBIPOC, and underground experimental multidisciplinary artists across fashion, prosthetics, mixed-reality visuals, sound art, facilitated movement, and handcrafted noise instruments.
