Testimonium responds to US poet Charles Reznikoff’s unfinished Testimony, a collection of courtroom testimonies translated into poetry.

The performance alternates between Stephen Fiehn’s inventive movement sequences, Bryan Saner’s recitation of the text, and songs performed live by Chicago band Joan of Arc, an extremely loud post-rock band with hints of Sonic Youth – earplugs are provided!
