‘Fool’s Errand: an Alchemical Sonata’ – a ritual performance, Konträr Stockholm, 4 – 21 April 2024

‘Fool’s Errand: an Alchemical Sonata’ combines visual, sound and performance art into a collectively transformative ritual – about artistic freedom, academic fantasies and the poetics of failure, all in a uniquely embodied sensory performance.

It forms a seven-part stage hybrid at the intersection of a traditional alchemical refinement process and a psycho-sensory performance trip, all enveloped in hypnotic drone music.

Premiere/vernissage at Konträr Stockholm 4 April; performances 5-6, 11-13 & 19-21 April.

The exhibition in the foyer will be available during the performance period.
