Jani Ruscica – Felt the Moonlight on my Feet LP

Apparent Extent, Germany 2018 Initially developed for and during the public programme “The Studio for Arousing Tools” devised by Sam Watson at M HKA Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp, Belgium, 2017 “For the work Felt the Moonlight on My Feet a tap dancer is presented with poetry chosen by Ruscica for reasons including their political and social censorship during the course of their existence. Each poem has been translated into Morse Code, itself further translated and interpreted by the tap dancer into a dance piece. Consistent with Ruscica’s practice to date the collaborative work explores the intersections between language, place, culture, sculpture, sound, theatre and performance, focusing on posing questions related to the processes of translation and cultural representation.”
