Act IX: Let Us Compare Mythologies
18 - 20 Jun 2010
Act IX of Witte de With’s year long Morality program, Let Us Compare Mythologies, is a three-day cycle of staged events presenting international artists exploring the nature of the performance.
Based on a wide variety of topics, like the relationships between man, object, myth and animal, the program is centered around the continued existence of myths in today's society and their creative force. We are most grateful to all participants who are willing to show their works, (re)stage their performances and compare their mythologies...
What happens when two myths meet, will they dissolve or will they reinforce each other?
Featured artists: Danaï Anesiadou, Baktruppen, Geneviève Belleveau, Dineo Seshee Bopape, Keren Cytter & Andrew Kerton, Oskar Dawicki, Simon Denny, D.O.R., Lili Reynaud-Dewar, Leeroy the Duck, Yngve Holen, Gergely László, Mark Leckey, Patrizio Di Massimo, Rory Pilgrim, Eliza Newman-Saul, Tris Vonna-Michell, Jeremy Shaw
