Composite Acts

Channels Festival: International Biennial of Video Art is excited to announce the premiere of a new commission by David Rosetzky - Composite Acts, at the Magdalen Laundries, Abbotsford Convent for a special one-night exhibition and performance.

This enigmatic work examines the relationship between language and desire, while exploring non-binary sexual identities, social dynamics and power. To produce the work, Rosetzky interviewed his collaborators about their personal relationships, sexual encounters and family history to devise a script that forms the nexus of the piece. Subsequently deconstructed through word association techniques, the script is spoken and integrated with choreographed movement enacted in dialogue with a suite of sculptural objects.

This special event involves a presentation of Rosetzky's new video and live performance work, with choreography by influential Melbourne dance artist Jo Lloyd, performed by Shelley Lasica and Harrison Ritchie-Jones, sculptural works by Sean Meilak and a music composition performed live by Duane Morrison.

Tickets - full $15 / Concession $10.
