Y entonces el mar te habla (And the Sea Will Talk to You)
Performance/Video By Coco Fusco | Color | 45 min | 2012


On an island where there is no jungle, the jungle is the sea.
                                                              Reinaldo Arenas


And the Sea Will Talk to You invites audience into the physical and emotional experience of journeying from Cuba by sea. Participants relinquish their worldly possessions (handbags, money, phones, watches, etc.) before entering a darkened theater. Traditional seating is replaced by the inner tubes that serve as sea crafts for Cuban rafters. The video combines images of the Caribbean Sea and skies with poetic and testimonial commentary on the sea.

Premiere: Brooklyn Academy of Music, Fisher Theater, Next Wave Festival
