    • Imagine a chorus of voices – some human, some animal, some machine – arriving from an unknown space and time to perform a lament. Laments are extreme expressions of grief in the form of a song or poem. In ancient tragedy, a chorus typically (re)turns to the past to scan history for a precedent, in search for meaning of the present. On this occasion, the chorus travels to the past not to learn from it but to rewrite it, from the perspective of those voices silenced by the archive.
