Field:

Performance

Location:

Grand Luxe Hall, Western Front

Time:

9:00 p.m.

Description:

Stephen O'Connell’s interdisciplinary performance The Surveyor is a personal inquiry that establishes an implicit relationship between the artist and war criminal Borislav Herak. 

By juxtaposing the mundane with the profane, the work attempts to balance personal responsibility in relation to current world events with lived experience. Formally, the work explores some of the infinite possibilities of interdisciplinary performance, employing film, theatre, sound, video, and movement within a single performance event. 

Curated by Dana Claxton, as part of the series Progression.

Presented with assistance from the Vancouver City Cross-Cultural Initiative.
