Performance: Fanatic – chapter II

Performance times: 6:30pm, 7:30pm

A Million Love Songs is a collaborative project by artists Anastasia Mina and Helen Michael. Throughout the evening there will be two performances of Fanatic – chapter II, their latest in a series of performances, investigating ways in which meaning is disseminated in contemporary culture.

The performers’ struggle to deliver the text mirrors its content and makes the essential elements of communication more apparent. The attempt to create a connection with others is seen as an expression of love, which belies the often antagonistic content of the words, and which endures despite the inherent failure.  The work demonstrates the blurring of boundaries, so transparent in contemporary online communications, between the political, the psychological and the personal.

This performance has been programmed as part of Anastasia Mina: Theta, which was exhibited in the Project Space at Jerwood Space from 10 September to 15 December 2018. The performance will happen twice during the evening (6:30pm and 7:30pm) and lasts approximately 10-15 minutes.
