The performances are filmed: filming the audience and livestreaming it is an integral part of the artist's performance. We invite those who do not wish to be filmed to make themselves known to our team.
In a performance created for Échelle Humaine, Ivan Cheng presents a series of filmed monologues that confront the expectations, absurdities and grotesqueries of artistic creation.
Clarities offers an acrobatic journey through the complexities of language and its theatricalisation - a journey in the form of continuous flows and re-composed digressions.
Pub auras, Frankenstein and Snoopy, tournaments, television scale plots, class consciousness, intergenerational transmission and its wobbling movement on the retinas.
Performance in English. Full translation available at the door.
Cameraman: Arvo Leo
Garments: Good & Bad (Marina M. Kolushova, Victor Stuhlmann, Ossi Lehtonen)
