What is it to read fiction but to willingly suspend disbelief? Written by Sanae Oujjit and Samuel Mu Koch and performed during low tide at the bottom of the Waddensea in northern Holland this site specific reading performance explores the power of fiction, what constitutes a fiction and how fictions constitute historical knowlege. As ghost of exile and the past, this collaborative writing is a meditation on memory, land and colonial histories, grief and the inaccesabilty of a landscape. Stranded at the bottom of the sea during low tide, a surreal and dreamy landscape is revealed. The theatrical and temporary setting is an imaginative and surreal landcsape evoking deep sea memories and geologic time. Shaped as a conversation between two books: the Poetics of Relation by Édouard Glissant and Diego Garcia by Natasha Soobramanien and Luke Williams. The performance was live streamed by nah.rip.
