Daniel Dominguez Teruel

Daniel Dominguez Teruel frequently deals with the construction of national identity. For Hilmteich, he is developing a humorous musical performance that blends national symbolism, religious rituals, and Greek mythology. Intervening into an afternoon idyll, performers carry out an absurd ceremony. Through his signature fusion of music and space, Dominguez Teruel brings together familiar melodies, flags, and the park’s landscape to create a fragile moment of pathos. Gloria! Gloria! Gloria! explores the longings we associate with community-building rituals while simultaneously revealing their disintegration.
