Upon the place beneath

(2008) Performance with Lost Parade

Photos Andrew Downs

This piece is a performed sonic exploration of the entropic.

The work brings together a collection of objects and materials from the everyday with a minimal choreography inspired by Beckett's insistence on the almost nothing.

Alluding to Francis Bacon's studio which has been reconstructed in the Hugh Lane Gallery, the performance lets the banal, ad hoc and chaotic take their place amongst the permanent, stable and fixed.

Devised and performed by Claudia Kappenberg with Lost Parade
(Clara Garcia-Fraile, Lori O’Regan, Johanna Ronkko, Chloe Ducharne, Anna Watts, Sarah Alexander) Directed by Claudia Kappenberg.
