Trifecta ... the visceral, the virtual and the vulnerable

Free entrance, please register via: studiumgenerale.artez.nl
Writer and performer velvet leigh (Dutch Art Institute a.k.a. DAI), and theorist and educator Jules Sturm (Zurich University of the Arts) join together for an evening of performance and conversation, addressing themes of vulnerability, body, temporality and the chronic.
A trifecta is a group or series of three; a triad. It is also a type of bet, in which a wager is made on a particular outcome. It involves risk, endurance and placing one's 'fate', as it were, into the future unknown. What happens when the physiological functioning of a body slides into deterioration or breakdown? How does the experience of being in a body that is unreliable create temporal rifts and elisions, where the chronic becomes not only a stretching, or expanding, of time, but also of perception, of interoception: the sensations and experiences from inside the body. The performance of trifecta, by velvet leigh, proposes to take us along for a deep and vulnerable dive.
Following the performance, velvet and Jules will co-host a conversation delving further into the evening's themes.
This English spoken event is hosted within the frame of ArtEZ Studium Generale's program The Body and Power(lessness) and takes place as part of the exhibition Someone Lives In This Body at P–OST
