Part of: Expanded Performance

I Proclaim, You Proclaim, We Proclaim
is a two-day performance event addressing the presentation and performance of speech and language.

Occupying the central foyer of Stroom Den Haag this event investigates various modes of public presentation as forms of discursive artistic production. Each performance combines the interaction of language with visual and spatial display elements activated by a protagonist. The artists engage directly with the audience to share and produce theoretical and subjective understandings of different subjects through a public reading, students protest, lecture-performance, conversation and role-playing game.

I Proclaim, You Proclaim, We Proclaim unites a compelling group of artists whose works operate in an area between text, script, performance, action and installation. The works employ different choreographic and rhetorical techniques to both construct and perform narratives. Through these artists as ‘actors' and objects as ‘props', the two-day event, I Proclaim, becomes a stage upon which works can be proclaimed.

With Nicoline van Harskamp, Louise Hervé & Chloé Maillet, Léa Lagasse, Pierre Leguillon, Sarah Pierce, Alexandre Singh, and Cally Spooner.

Curated by Capucine Perrot.
