As round as the Son with Sharonjit Sutton
DOOM! @Vivd Porjects Birmingham by Black Hole Club 2021DOOM is a co-authoring of works for the longest day of the year, a guttural collective outpouring through performance, video and the testing of new propositions through practice and writing.
Works in DOOM are by Adwoa Owusu-Barnieh, Alis Oldfield, Ambie Drew, De’Anne Crooks, Eleanor Morgan, Emily Scarrott, Jacob Carter, Kühle Wampe, Larissa Shaw, Leanne O’Connor, Lily Wales, Rosa Postlethwaite, Roo & Sharon & S A B O T A G E.
As Round as the Son, antithetical to the celebration of summer solstice is a film made by Artistic Duo Sharon + Rupi. The two artists present their audience with a satirical sketch using the OTT DOOM language, dramaturgy and sounds found in Desi dramas. “If your rotis (chapati) are not round, how will you get married?” One of the biggest sins in a desi household is a daughter who cannot make a round roti. Sharon + Rupi embrace their misshapen flat-bread in the ultimate celebration of rebellion, challenging both the matriarchy and patriarchy (the Sun/Son), simultaneously.
