–AND (2021)
December 12, 2021on-line12:00 pm to 1:00 pm

FADO presents two new works by Erika DeFreitas context of –AND (2021), curated and organized by Christof Migone.

Each year the event moves through each word of the 12-word phrase “you and I are water earth fire air of life and death” and activates the word of the year in a myriad of ways. This year the word is ‘and’, consequently the focus is on repetitions, conjunctions, and duos.

Performance Home: from Toronto to Turkey by Simla Civelek
September 2021Toronto, Canada

What would be like to go back and record a walk-through of this space, like an audience-less performance, like a home movie of a ghost of a home? The camera as all-seeing eye, from my apartment in Toronto to our apartment in Istanbul, through a distance of 8,196.58 kms?

Performance Yellow

This fragrance opens us to the question, has the show started? It's winter, the theatre is colder than the street and the room is filled with people and all their winter smells: wet faux leather, down, too much shampoo, and beer breath. The atmosphere is a trickster. Am I late, am I early?
