Slippages of The Mouth
a performance by Andrea Celeste la Forgia and Gloriya Avgust
(performance duration: 30 min)
2026
Biting, spitting, chewing, swallowing, gagging, in Slippages of the Mouth, a performance conceived by Gloriya Avgust (BG) and Andrea Celeste La Forgia (IT), four characters linger over the taste of feminist class struggle and the slippery tensions between labour, the gendered body, identity and performance.
By situating the mouth as a stage and the tongue as a site of revolt, the performance gapes open the vulnerability of bringing the foreign inside, casting all characters into question.
The performance was originally held as part of BUNA, an annual art forum based in Varna, Bulgaria.
