<div><adata-start="10.56"href="#">00:00:10,560</a> A woman speaks in Indonesian</div>
<div><adata-start="24.38"href="#">00:00:24,380</a> Another woman responds back to her</div>
<div><adata-start="28.36"href="#">00:00:28,360</a> By repeating only the vowels of what the previous woman said</div>
<div><adata-start="58.4"href="#">00:00:58,400</a> This process continues to more people that are gathered together in a circle at Leeszaal</div>
<div><adata-start="115.26"href="#">00:01:55,260</a> A woman once told me</div>
<div><adata-start="120.62"href="#">00:02:00,620</a> That when she was a child</div>
<div><adata-start="124.98"href="#">00:02:04,980</a> She would speak to her mother in Dutch and her mother would reply back to her in Surinamese</div>
<div><adata-start="134.7"href="#">00:02:14,700</a> Their communication would go on like that</div>
<div><adata-start="138.94"href="#">00:02:18,940</a> The child was like a channel</div>
<div><adata-start="142.72"href="#">00:02:22,720</a> Like also her mother. The one would refuse to talk in one common language to the other.</div>
<div><adata-start="152.62"href="#">00:02:32,620</a> But this process of translation happening inside their head...</div>
<div><adata-start="160.1"href="#">00:02:40,100</a> is mediating and filtrating their speech through each others bodies</div>
<div><adata-start="188.24"href="#">00:03:08,240</a> In ancient medical and anatomical theory women have two mouths, the upper and the lower, connected through neck</div>
<div><adata-start="209.72"href="#">00:03:29,720</a> The lips of both these mouths guarded a hollow cavity and they had to remain closed</div>
<div><adata-start="218.52"href="#">00:03:38,520</a> Having two mouths that speak simultaneously is confusing and embarrassing and this creates cacophony</div>
<div><adata-start="229.32"href="#">00:03:49,320</a> Females were expressing something directly when it should have been said indirectly</div>
<div><adata-start="294.9"href="#">00:04:54,900</a> In the end of this process this group of people sang together all the vowels they had transcribed</div>
<div><adata-start="309.46"href="#">00:05:09,460</a> With a small delay of synchronization they tried to sing at the same time</div>
<div><adata-start="337.58"href="#">00:05:37,580</a> In Ancient Greece there was a high-pitch utterance of women , called ololyga...</div>
<div><adata-start="347.56"href="#">00:05:47,560</a> which was a ritual practice dedicated to important events in life...</div>
<div><adata-start="355.02"href="#">00:05:55,020</a> such as like the birth of a child or the death of a person...</div>
<div><adata-start="360.7"href="#">00:06:00,700</a> and this was considered a pollution for civic space</div>
<div><adata-start="393.46"href="#">00:06:33,460</a> If expressed in public they would create chaos and provoke madness</div>
<div><adata-start="427.46"href="#">00:07:07,460</a> Here you listen Angela Davis speak in Occupy Wall Street</div>
<div><adata-start="452.4"href="#">00:07:32,400</a> People here act like a human microphone. They repeat all together what Angela Davis says...</div>
<div><adata-start="462.88"href="#">00:07:42,880</a> in order she could be heard more far away in the square...</div>
<div><adata-start="473.26"href="#">00:07:53,260</a> in order to amplify her voice, because amplification devices were not permitted</div>
<div><adata-start="481.82"href="#">00:08:01,820</a> Vowels allow us to occupy space</div>
