Created by Dirk Jan Jager, who participated in the 2010 edition of VERBO, in partnership with musician Paul Glazier, Leviatã [Leviathan] is an action composed of apparently simple gestures: tied to a rope, Jager repeats movements of ascent and descent ad infinitum, while Glazier transforms the performer’s heartbeat and plays it over a sound system in real time. Jager and Glazier’s Leviatã aims to involve the public, creating a ritualistic atmosphere that approximates the performer’s figure to that of the mythological beast.
