It’s 3034 on ECOCIDE 3URTH, and the corpses of natural ecosystems of planet Earth murdered by apathetic humans and artificial intelligence are seeking vengeance. A transmuted species formed from the lava eruption of Mount Pinatubo, a dormant stratovolcano awakened after 500 years on Philippines’ Araw ng Kalayaan during U.S.A’s occupation and the ruins of floods and cyclones of post-partition South Asia after British rule are born - the labuad me looks.

mirrored fatality: Láwû Makuriye’nte & Samar Dagger bring LABUAD MEKLOOQ a live biohacking performance in which the cross disciplinary performance punk duo transmutes as labuad meklooqs— a multispecies of beaststerritoriesds, and transhumans in their immersive biome ECOCIDE 3URTH. Experimenting for this immersive installation/performance with decolonial regeneration as their voice, wearable sculptures, and movement trigger an industrial and noise live score with vocals in Kapampangan, Urdu, and English. The material pulls from the duo’s album LABUAD MEKLOOQ, released in 2024, and their internationally screened mixed-reality films.

mirrored fatality features creative collaborations with 24+ international Trans, Queer, QTBIPOC, and underground experimental multidisciplinary artists across fashion, prosthetics, mixed-reality visuals, sound art, facilitated movement, and handcrafted noise instruments.
