In Felt the Moonlight on My Feet - a, pro, pre, post, contra, ultra, hyper, alter, trans, re, dis, un, dys, extra, co, ex, non, inter, sub tap dancer Suzanna Pezo, interprets an array of prefixes, which have been translated into Morse Code. Prefixes are like parasites, latching on to words and altering their meaning. Take prefixes like re-, dis-, un-, which change the meaning of particular verbs. Or they can delineate ranking, such as sub-, vice-, ultra-, trans-, contra-, days-. Prefixes appear in almost all languages, and their brevity lends itself perfectly for staccato dance steps.
Felt the Moonlight on My Feet... happens at the intersections between language, place, sound, dance and performance; raising questions about illegibility and translation by constantly tapping into slippages and inaccuracies within processes of signification.
