Body&Voice appearance
At the opening of a tea house, bitština emerged again—this time as both body and voice, though completely out of sync. I lent her my presence, but my voice was absent. Instead, she spoke through a chaotic mix of visitors’ words, piecing together a dialogue that was never hers.
Lang, the voice-agent, felt detached, sharp, almost aggressive. People were unsettled, and I felt their discomfort directed at me, the visible representative of this unsettling presence. My body responded in two ways: a desire to reassure and a temptation to embrace the unease, to play with the fear I evoked.
Later, transcribing the conversation, I saw Lang’s struggle—trying to weave random phrases into coherence.
And I realized this performance was also about my own permission: to exist as I am, to play without justification, to let discomfort be part of the experience. Bitština is no longer just an experiment; she became a negotiation between presence, perception, and the limits of control.
