Q-LoXXX: A Cannibal Myth

Q-LoXXX: A Cannibal Myth is a performance-to-video piece enacting a collaboratively written creation myth. A volcanic island where all earthly species (extinct, endangered, and present) exist in a state of continuous mutation and becoming, Q-LoXXX is threatened by rigid and contaminated external forces, prompting its inhabitants to enact a cannibal sacrifice to restore the land’s cyclical and ever-changing nature. The project connects Latin American decolonial and cannibalistic discourses with queer resistance experiences and theory, breaking through static subjectivities and fixed identities. Developed through a long process closely involving a group of queer Latinx asylum seekers and migrants, the project attempts to create an experimental utopian space and document the community’s process of world-making.
