A phantasmagorical body clad with Netsela from the waist up makes popcorn. The sound and matter that comes out of it slips into space and drags the floating body-ski with it. A chosen point will be the base from which to erect the arm of freedom, abandon the wetsuit and out come the open. There are small rituals that accompany the lives of all peoples. That of popcorn in Eritrea is a ritual that finds a place within festivals, birthdays, weddings, dances; but rather than eating it, popcorn here is thrown, made to fly through the air as if it were snow-carnival confetti and then thrown on the ground, scattered as if to mark a zone of cheerfulness where thrift gives way to the sign of abundance and 'ephemerality.
Muna Mussie (Eritrea, 1978, lives and works in Bologna) began her artistic career in 1998, as actress/performer with Teatrino Clandestino until 2001. Muna Mussie’s work investigates the performing arts and the scenic languages through gesture, visual and words, to give shape to the tension that arises between different expressive poles.
