SUMMARY:Luis Guenel Soto and Ebana Garin Coronel: Minga of a House in Ruins
DESCRIPTION:This performance\, part of the Perform Sharjah performance programme\,  centres around the Chilean tradition of ‘minga’ – the communal act of moving an entire house\, seen as a gesture of collective labour and shared resilience. Through three interwoven stories\, Minga of a House in Ruins delves into the meaning of home and whether we can build an alternative future out of the ruins of a world seemingly coming to an end. In this intimate encounter\, ruins are not simply remnants of destruction but living spaces of resistance\, where community\, imagination and care come together to affirm life in the shadow of collapse. Through movement\, sound and silence\, the work transforms decay into possibility\, showing how bodies and voices can rebuild\, even if only for a fleeting moment\, what has been lost …
