The Fever Hand is a performance lecture inspired by the yellow fever “come back” in South America. This old disease is deeply connected to the colonial sugar plantations in the Americas that created the perfect environment for aedes aegypti, the carrier mosquito imported from the African continent by the European slave ships to the Americas. These scientific studies are the background for envisioning links among the sugar cane, yellow fever, Catholicism and how music reflected colonial interactions, and the consequences in the new South American bodies. The artist makes use of a music piece composed by herself on a large church-style pipe-organ, drawings, historical images, video, sounds and her own voice to tell this semi fictional story.
