Ron Athey: Performances in the U.K
Wednesday 25 April, 2007
Legendary performer Ron Athey returns to the UK this month and will be performing around the country between April and June 2007.
Starting off at Chelsea Theatre, London, Ron and collaborator Dominic Johnson premiere their newly-commissioned piece Incorruptible Flesh (Perpetual Wound).
Starting with a palate of ideas about sex, death and sparkle, the myth of Philoctetes is transplanted into the California deserts in the heat of August, creating
rituals of transubstantiation in magickal excess. This performance will then travel to the Fierce Festival in Birmingham.
Ron will also appear as part of a round-table discussion during the Sprit + Flesh UK tour with Fakir Musafar, Marisa Carnesky and Kira O’Reilly (Chaired by Lois Keidan of the Live Art Development Agency).
In June, Ron will appear in Bristol at the Arnolfini performing Ecstatic as part of the Manuel Vason Performance Programme.
INCORRUPTIBLE FLESH (PERPETUAL WOUND).
24-27 April and 1-2 May 2007. (Chelsea Theatre, London)
