Following his daily performances through Folkestone, performance artist Jaša will conclude the durational performance of his ‘Lingering Cut’ series with an angst performance at 73 Tontine Street, emphasising the urgency of creative resistance through a display of sound, expression and emotion.
About
Conceived as a complex, multi-dimensional work that unfolds over time, performance artist Jaša will commence his new body of work ‘Lingering Cut’, commissioned to inaugurate a season of new live-art programs in 2021 called ‘Lake Lazarillo’. Following his daily performances on Tontine Street and the Harbour Arm, Jaša will host a performance within 73 Tontine Street, viewable from the street.
Since his first intervention and performance at CT20 in 2017, Jaša’s work bracketed a period of social upheaval and the surge of far-right politics in the West. After the horrors of social distancing and months of isolation due to the pandemic, we re-emerge into a fractured world in which oppressive political alliances have tightened their grips on power. Jaša’s poetic gestures point to the realities in his home country in Slovenia and the urgency of creative resistance, more so than ever.
