Performance by Warren Arcand
Description:
Warren Arcand presented a solo performance exploring family, surgery, and the earth as a force of cleansing and regeneration. For the duration of the twenty-minute work, Arcand stood inside a cell-like booth with red fabric padding and a wood door. From here he delivered a monologue with a microphone fitted with voice-distorting effects. The set also included a spotlit painting of a fetus that descended from the ceiling, and a medical drawing that was projected at the back of the stage and mirrored on a monitor.
Video documentation is available upon request.
