Situations

𝐊!𝐀𝐑𝐓: 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 A performance situation could be many things. In a concert, we are usually met with the situation of musicians performing sounds on their instruments. In theatre, we might encounter a very specific dramatic situation - for example, a woman buried up to her waist in dirt who nonetheless continues attempting to go about her daily life. The situation is what emerges from an unspoken central logic or ruleset that everything else follows from. K!ART presents a selection of François Sarhan’s Situations: short works for one to three performers and minimal props, each built around simple but volatile conditions. These are paired with complementary works by other composers that introduce instruments and technology, generating their own sonic and behavioural consequences. Featuring mimicry, hocketing, ventriloquism and the outsourcing of control, this programme unfolds as a chain of performance situations that reveal how constraint produces sound, tension and unexpected forms of coordination and communication. 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜̧𝐨𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐧: 𝑆𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 4 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡: 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑛 𝑝𝑙𝑠 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜̧𝐨𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐧: 𝑆𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 7 𝐉𝐨𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞: (𝐴𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑒𝑛𝑣𝑖𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑛𝑜. 😎 ...𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑚𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑚 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜̧𝐨𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐧: 𝑆𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 13 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤: 𝑁𝑜𝑚𝑖 𝑆𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜̧𝐨𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐧: 𝑆𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 15 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐕𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐞𝐤: tba The concert is curated by Joss Smith.
