“Soup Frog” Ethan Folk, Germany, 2022

Soup Frog is the soliloquy of a saucy post-human tart. Inspired by ecofeminist conceptions of symbiosis (Haraway, Butler), and particularly by the theories of evolutionary microbiologist Lynn Margulis. Written, performed, and captioned in Damiá – a novel, fully-functioning language with an extensive grammar and a vocabulary of around 10,000 words, created over the course of several decades, which seeks to “explore a queer language and its performative potential.”

Soup Frog is part of the project Homecoming — Greatest Hits! by ONCE WE WERE ISLANDS.
