"Walk better dan sidong"
A performance
by
Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow + Zachary Fabri
“Walk better than sidong” (Jamaican proverb)
Meaning: To walk is better than to sit down. Used when someone goes somewhere and receives something he or she needs or can use, that he or she might not have received, staying home.
In “Walk better than sidong”, artists Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow & Zachary Fabri perform movements that may seem as if they are ordinary, everyday activities. Other than just plain walking both performers simultaneously travel from point A to point B and back.
By oscillating back and forth characters may lose things along the way. These things may cross paths with a new owner, creating a new destiny for that thing.
