Performance and audio installation by Myclef Laun at the ‘performance dinner’ in collaboration with Lin Wang. Costume Design: Myclef Laun and Lin Wang
Make-up: Myclef Laun and Lin Wang

EROTIC DREAMS AND POETIC MISUNDERSTANDINGS


Laun’s durational performance is an introduction to Wang’s ongoing exploration of the aesthetic legacy of cultural exchange between China and the West. With both choreography and delicate attention to poetic recitation of Alfred Lord Tennyson, Laun the two-spirited Canadian multi-disciplinary artist becomes siren and sailor. Laun’s voice is enchanting in its accompaniment of their sound installation collected from samples taken from the seaside, as well as the soundtrack from the post apocalyptic film Waterworld (1995).


The Performance dinner was co-produced by Prøverommet - BIT Teatergarasjen, in collaboration with KODE, and supported by Bergen Kommune and Norsk Kulturråd.
