Filo Ancantilado (The Fight), 2025, Sighthill park, Glasgow
Filo Anacantilado (The Fight) is a joint performance made by Barnaby Wessell and Lucas Fernandez in Glasgow, May 2025. The fight between two strange creatures speaking in tounges rises in intensity and violence across 5 rounds until one of the two is slain. Surreal and entertaining the hope is the audience might eventually feel peturbed by what they witness and uncomfortable with the potential good humour they found in it previously. Made in response to the growing violence of ICE raids in Trump’s America it’s both spectacle and fear made from the distant, disconnected vantage point of scotland with one of the performers and artists never having even left europe at time of creation it naturally becomes a high fantasy as to what this is. Emulating the process we all go through processising the overwhelm of information and news we are fed/read - that is making up what the hell it means.
