Co-presented with FADO Performance Art Centre
Two incredible performances by Montreal's 2Fik
Performed by 2Fik and Oreet Ashery
Written by Oreet Ashery (Semitic Score)
Semitic Score is a multidisciplinary performance that takes its roots from the notion that both Muslims and Jews come from the same Semitic DNA. Created in collaboration with British art star Oreet Ashery (
www.oreetashery.net) and accompanied by avant-garde musician Debashis Sinha (

Next, in Live Photo, 2Fik, working as both photographer and subject, single-handedly recreates de La Tour's famous painting Cheat with the Aces of Clubs in front of an audience. Through a dazzling display of technology and performance, 2Fik transforms himself into the multiple characters that make up this Baroque masterpiece and digitally produces a replica of the painting. Pure irreverent and subversive pleasure!
