Performance

Location:

Grand Luxe Hall, Western Front

Description:

Spotlit in front of a red curtain, Oraf Orafsson performed a twenty-five minute monologue recounting his upbringing in Quebec in the 1960s. The non-linear narrative that reflected on death, dysfunction, and the nature of memory, was delivered with a deadpan affect.

Video documentation is available upon request.
