SONIC MUD
Julia Elsas, Rain Machine, 2019
Performance
Wednesday, August 21st, 6pm
With Julia Elsas, Kenny Wollesen, Kirk Knuffke, and Mike Irwin.
The instrument sculptures on display in The Weight of the Temporary were created during Elsas’ participation in the 2018-2019 New Jewish Culture Fellowship. For this fellowship, she reimagined a mysterious biblical instrument, the Ugav, through a series of ceramic sculptures. The Ugav is mentioned only four times in the Bible, including in the very first description of musical instruments (Genesis 4:21). Contemporary interpretations of the Ugav describe it either as a reed instrument or a stringed instrument. Possibilities include: pipe, bagpipe, end-blown flute, vertical flute, water organ, panpipe, lute, harp, viola da gamba, or simply, a love charm.
Julia Elsas considers the Sonic Sculptures to be fully realized when they are being played.

Target Margin Theater was founded in 1991 by David Herskovits on the principle that works of art return us to real truths more powerfully by their divergence from a strict illustration of reality. Through classic and contemporary texts, TMT continuously seeks to expand the conception of what can take place in a theater.
This year’s edition of The TMT Lab: NEWS OF THE STRANGE commissions new works by emerging artists exploring rarely seen stories from The One Thousand and One Nights and early Medieval Arab fantasies.
The lead artists featured are Leyya Tawil, The Million Underscore (Nicolas Norena & Timothy Scott), and Moe Yousuf.
