Xavier Le Roy - Kaldor Public Art Project 31

Overview

Kaldor project 31 — a tough follow-up to Marina Abramovic: In Residence — promises cutting-edge choreography from French artist Xavier Le Roy. This ambitious project will unfold in three parts at Carriageworks and will be realised through the assistance of artistic collaborator Scarlet Yu and a group of 18 Australian performers.

Self Unfinished is Le Roy’s seminal solo performance, which premiered in 1998. Unlike his later projects, this work was designed for a theatre space and has received acclaim for reconfiguring the relationship between audience and performer. You can also see two sides of Temporary Title – the rehearsals and the final product. Spoiler: everyone will be in the nude for the latter. Don’t let that deter you though. This piece will be an exploration of not quite human forms, testing the boundaries between the strange and the familiar.
