BREATHE FOR ME - MARTIN O’BRIEN
PERFORMANCE IS DURATIONAL. AUDIENCE IS WELCOME TO ATTEND ENTIRE PERFORMANCE AND/OR TO COME AND GO THROUGHOUT THE EVENING.
I am my body but my body is against me. I’m drowning. Breathe for me; will some body breathe for me?
Breathe for Me considers the nature of the regulated chronically ill body. Martin O’Brien r-embodies and takes pleasure in the excessive performance of an already embodied lived experience. Illness is revealed through the body in extremis. This body which is turning against itself relentlessly endures as a form of resistance to illness. Martin is beaten, bruised, cut, and penetrated, exhausted, suffocated, examined and treated in a regime of sufferance in order to survive.
