Live Artery is a dynamic festival featuring new and recent works by resident commissioned artists and curated guests. The Black Circus of the Republic of Bantu is an immersive, live offering by Albert Ibokwe Khoza in collaboration
with African Entertainers. It exposes the violent and shameful legacy of ethnological expositions that were popular in Western society. Khoza investigates the effect of the imperial and colonial gaze on Black bodies, and how it
sits within Black bodies today. Examining the ongoing pain of historical and persistent racism, Khoza creates a space for collective healing and an opportunity for dignity to be reclaimed.
Artist: Albert Khoza in collaboration with African Entertainers

Live Artery is a dynamic festival featuring new and recent works by resident commissioned artists and curated guests. Driscoll’s newest work Weathering is a multi-sensory flesh and breath sculpture made of bodies, sounds, scents, liquids
and objects. Ten performers enact a glacially morphing tableau vivant on a mobile raft-like stage surging through the Anthropocene. The audience embanks the performers, close enough to smell the sweat and feel the steam of the
central, spiraling scenes in this symphonically active, luminously living work.
Artist: Faye Driscoll

of the novel in the post.
Created by Mish Grigor and Gavin Quinn with Aedín Cosgrove, Luka Costello, Clare Howe, Sonya Kelly, Simon Kenny, Grace Morgan, Katherine O’Malley and Dylan Tighe.

Terce: A Practical Breviary weaves together classic monastic texts, the artist’s own adaptations, and passages from “Revelations of Divine Love”— a medieval text written by one of the first female theologians who describes a revelation
of spirituality through a feminine view of Christ. This mass pays homage to God as the mothers that live within us. Its lyrical score is built for an all-women ensemble with a percussive underscore of traditionally female medieval
home crafts being made. The composition blends contemporary, soulful rock and gospel with layered acapella harmonies traditionally found in Christian church services.

his future. An open window to an infinite field of possibilities for new generations. Join the party and experience the rich, multicolored, polyphony of the African continent through the eyes of a child in this kinetic swirl of

Odd Man Out is an immersive experience in complete darkness in which the audience hears, smells, tastes, and feels the story of Alberto, a blind jazz musician traveling home from New York to Buenos Aires after decades of self-exile.The
story is set on the flight back to Buenos Aires, with the audience entering the space as passengers on that flight. As Alberto tells his life stories to his seatmates, we start re-imagining his journey as he perceives it: in complete
darkness. Because the audience members – our “passengers” – are in complete darkness through the entire duration of the flight, the action is experienced by way of auditory stimulation, tactile objects, tasty treats, and enriched
smells. Passengers will even feel the weather occurring around them.
