Jota Mombaça: Corriendo hacia la asamblea de las cosas

Time: 6:30 pm

Admission: Free

For TONO Festival 2025, Jota Mombaça will present the first iteration of a three-year long project for a geo-onto-logical opera. Drawing from elemental theory, visionary fiction and sonic research, the project will gather voices of singers and other vocal practitioners across different regions of the world, while studying the limits of human subjectivity in relation to climatic and ecological liminalities.

The Mexican chapter of the project will look into the hydrologic crisis in Mexico City, remixing the sound of hydro-political infrastructure, recordings of the underwater and the voices of a group of local collaborators who will participate in a three-week residence along with Mombaça. Corriendo hacia la asamblea de las cosas will premiere live during 2025’s TONO Festival in collaboration with Casa del Lago, and later, it will transform into a site-responsive sound installation presented at Wiels in Brussels.
