(M)imosa: Experiment #1 - 00:00- 00:15, 00:30 - 00:45 and 01:00 - 01:15

(M)imosa is a site specific performance in companionship with the mimosa plant.

They have both experienced mixed sensations regarding violence, pleasure and consent.

Like performer Flavia Pinheiro, Mimosa pudica is native to Global South; well known for its rapid plant movement and unique response to touch. They have both experienced mixed sensations regarding violence, pleasure and consent.

Recently, empirical research showed how mimosa plants stopped closing their leaves — playing dead — after being touched repeatedly by visitors in green houses. They learnt that the disturbance had no real damaging consequence. In this first experiment, humans and plants are placed inside the glass box (in vitro) unveiling the violent entanglement of gender and nature. What are the consequences of captivity? Who has the right not to be touched?
