Língua Fora ("Tongue Out") is a series of performances focused on artistic practices that investigate the power of voice beyond the words, and in intersection with analog and digital technologies and other sonorities.

The tongue is an articulating machine of words, chants, and noises that emerge from bodies in vibration and relation. Língua Fora awakens amidst a dream and, in laughter, cries the everyday tragedy through a gesture, easing some memory, object, bird, or insect out through the throat. Língua Fora is the possibility of embodying language, without dismissing it but dissolving it in a discovery of vocal and mouth pleasures and afflictions.
