In this episode, Jassem Hindi talks about his deep interest in folk dance and folk music, and how he sees folk as fluid traditions of community, resistance and collectivity. Hindi also talks about his background as a musician and sound designer and his artistic interests in choreography: Creating contemporary folk dance using the Baroque, horror poetry, Norse and pre-Islamic cosmology and ancient folkloric dance techniques.
The performance Sun Eaters treats oil/petroleum as a mythological material - something that can take the most surprising forms, and which has haunted the earth like a monster.
