Pourzal, in dramaturgical dialogue with Kareem Alexander<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The moment a castrato utters his first note, he outs himself to his bemused onlookers. His strangely shrill voice undoubtedly pegs him as a castrated being, engineered for (and doomed to) a life of performance and impotence. Leveraging a grand gesture toward this bygone tradition, Pourzal cuts into the fixities and mutabilities of performing his selves for others, of pre-forming others for himself. While considering the castrato against larger histories of marking bodies (as raced, gendered, etc.) in the construction of power, his mixed-race fagginess does the looking and the uttering: everything is fixed, and nothing is restored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/292168483?title=0&amp;byline=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This performance is presented as part of Gibney\u2019s Making Space EA+ initiative, supported by the Jerome Foundation.
