Utter Gli(h)itter

South Street Arts centre, Reading, February 2024.

In a collision between interview and a failing game of keep up the inflated glove, words,  performers and  theater space are also inflated out to their edges, to a point of unstable identity/function. The title Gli(h)itter misspells the word Glitter with a 'pseudo-silent' H. The letter H a letter that Author Steve Connor in his lecture ‘‘Whisper Music’’ (Tate 2007) reminds us is between onomatopoeic breathiness and normal letter articulation. The H collaborates with the reading outload of the word, yet at the same time corrupts/infects and contaminates its spelling with its excess breathiness. The performance and the performers themselves interrupted by the breath; they become breathless, the words spoken by each performer layered by the others words and breathlessness. Words and sentences split, fractured, gli(h)ittered.
