The Obliteration Monologue
Delfina Foundation, London, UK
Part of Tearoom Relay: Pit Stop
In The Obliteration Monologue, Augustine Paredes reflects on the emotional complexities of migration, identity, and self-erasure. The piece expresses a deep apology to the character Ma, exploring the pain of leaving home and the struggle to maintain one’s sense of self in foreign lands. Through this intimacy, Augustine examines themes of displacement, resilience, and the desire for forgiveness and connection amidst personal transformation.
