[KOSMOS]

March – June 2021

[KOSMOS] is an ongoing, online, collaborative performance piece that explores and examines the meaning, purpose, and use of makeup—especially in relation to its gradual loss of use due to the global interruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a series of Zoom performances, the project asks the questions: “What now becomes of cosmetics? What now becomes of the face in this time of facelessness?” Focusing on the word “cosmetics” which derives from the Greek word, kosmos, meaning “order”, this performance piece is envisioned as an attempt in putting things in order, in harmony, in the balance, in perspective, in universe, and in beauty—especially at a time when we are grappling with the world’s existing disorder.

Concept and Direction: Jenny Logico-Cruz
Producer & Sounds: Blonski Cruz
Additional Sounds: JA Sarmogenes
