The Origin of Death reflects on different forms of interconnectedness and further delves into Paul Maheke’s interest in exploring how movement, sound, and identity dialogue. By utilising storytelling from a range of sources: from sci-fi to diaristic notes, early sketches and texts (both found and written by the artist), as well as music and roller skating, the performance embarks the audience on a meditative journey reflecting on the tenuous border between alterity and otherness, and life and death.
