we are cyber witches
1n1t1@t10n is an audio/visual/movement performance exploring the convergence of technology/nature/sexuality, as a new space for feminity/collectiveness/empowerment.
We perform our poetic-political manifesto by exploring our bodies as controllers. Using conductive ink, we narrate our lyrical code through visuals and voice. We make use of our diverse origin and creative approach as a way to link back to our own roots, while creating a new circuitry.

She is coming
rewriting redefining repositioning
reowning reclaiming rebooting
opening new circuits of connections
Creating currents of electricity,
flowing through a network that demands her hacking
She is the future, the antagonist of patriarchal reigns,
gliding across worlds, a hybrid creature free from borders, emancipated: beast
She shapes,
Form and face she changes
She is mother, matrix and thousands of names
She manifests in all that is living: earth, moon, sun, star, seed, wave, tree, spirit, animal, woman, man.
She is many
She is us

Prisoners of patriarchy, capitalism, subordination
feeling anger and sharing frustration
The fire of their souls burning
toxins raising, exhaling from their bodies, spreading: viral
she is the virus that will disrupt the system/Sie ist das Virus, dass das System verändern wird
they are the virus that will disrupt the system/ellas son el virus que alterará el sistema
I am the virus that will disrupt the system/Saya adalah virus yang akan mengubah sistem
we are the virus that will disrupt the system

We are here to unleash, unbound
Diving deep into fragments of this our political poetry
It’s time for alignment, time to expand our biomagnetic fields’

We are cyber witches
In this hybrid space
Transforming codes into complex networks
Mirroring patterns as above, so below
We embody the souls of the divine goddesses
Daughters of the moon, Mütter der Sonne, hermanas de la tierra
Sexual beings, natural beings
Exploring our bodies as our own territory
Entangled in the roots, linking us to the matrix
As the current unites us
our power allows us to re-engineer the world
healing
Fire, water, earth and air will we fuse
burning, wetting, reconstructing, deconstructing
the flowers of justice bloom
the fruits of freedom ripen
Ready
for shaping a world which prejudice claims no more victims
Ready
for reclaiming the corrupted system
ecstatic, in trance, celebrating,
shouting together
In the current void
We are the future voice
