Angelica Mesiti: Relay League Opening Event

'Appel á tous. Ceci est notre dernier cri avant notre silence éternel.'

'Calling all, this is our final cry before our eternal silence.'

Relay League, a term for a telegraphic transmission from one receiver to the next, takes as its departure point a Morse code message transmitted by the French Navy on 31 January 1997 to signal the imminent demise of this communication method. Morse code, a system of dot and dash radio signals often utilised as a lanuage of distress at sea, was phased out after 130 years in favour of new digital communications. Inspired by this final poetic phrase, Mesiti interprets its original dots and dashes through music, choreography, and non-verbal communication.
