lyrics

Performance art anthem

To presence
To difference
To practical resistance
to powerful artists with plans and persistence

We gather to witness
Rigorous insistence

On self-determinations as bodily liberations
we respect the flesh, pursue investigations
(and) perform demonstrations

of actions with presence, resonance, and vibration
viscereal forces of empathy are generated
When people assemble /to attend to /the created

We are
captivated, intoxicated, activated

we keep working even / when completely uncompensated

This is not business or politics

(though the political and catallactics
are of course inseperable from artistic tactics)

epilogue (not recorded here):
this is the very soulful expression of value beyond capital
expressing experiences, instantiating ethics
though often sharp and often flammable
performance art makes our lives more habitable
