Julie Tolentino / Stosh Fila HONEY

HONEY explored the exposures between the self and other in this contemplative and weighted durational performance by Stosh Fila and Julie Tolentino. Tolentino is the receiver, endure-r, memory collector, and signifier of death–her mouth open in the shape of the last kiss, the ‘O’ of death. Illuminating the productiveness and destructiveness of the ecstatic state, she swallows, filling and spilling, her ‘O’ of ecstasy enhanced by the drawn out ‘O’ emitted from the multiple hand recorders offering Vargas’ “Soledad” lyrics, to which she moves, records, erases. The partner/performer, Stosh Fila, is overseer, activator and participant. As the designer of the droplet’s shape, intensity, speed, and velocity- -the one who squeezes, advances, and withdraws—Fila’s movement delicately recapitulates each swallow.
