Jinte

Jinte

We are Oona and Jinte, and together we are creating a nihilistic, dark, and unsettling performance centered around a textile installation, to which we will add movement and live music. In the performance, we will create a space from which there is no escape, where people are trapped and driven to the brink of madness.

To obtain the textile piece, we will set up a collection point where people can drop off their old, discarded, and torn textiles. This can range from a T-shirt or old curtains to woolen socks. The textile piece will be created through workshops in which we explore the process of dismantling these collected textiles and reconnecting them into a textured material. We will use various craft techniques such as crocheting, knitting, knotting, weaving, etc. In these workshops, we focus on accessibility, connection, and openness. There is no right or wrong way to get started. How a particular part of the work looks depends on the person who made it and is therefore unique. Everyone is a vital link in the performance to realize the whole, which can expand indefinitely.
