Project Arts Centre presents
Compiling texts of varied natures, borrowed or written by Maheke himself, The Origin of Death is a performative lecture that takes the shape of a collective meditation on different forms of interconnectedness. Through a storytelling ranging from sci-fi to diaristic notes, it explores the tenuous border between the visible and the invisible.
