Quora Fora: A Rehearsal
Performances with sung libretto, print on molded fabric, cotton panels and string
Dimensions variable
Collection of Jason Wee
Singapore Biennale 2019 commission
Incorporating his long-term research into the form and function of spaces, as well as his interest in the choreography of architecture and body, writer and artist Jason Wee seeks to examine the notions and ideals of ‘the quorum’ in Quora Fora: A Rehearsal.
Conceived as a performance-installation that interlocks body and form through assembly and disassembly, Quora Fora: A Rehearsal seeks to ask, in Wee’s own words, “how do we design the shape and scale of a demos?” Drawing on the performers’ movements through space to unlock and activate considerations around the deliberative assembly, the work can be read as an ongoing search for a new symbolic form of democracy.
The performance-installation will be staged twice at W!LD RICE @ Funan on 19 Jan and 16 Mar 2020.
