“a finely tuned curatorial sensibility….a very special evening that exuded hospitality and a sense of enchanted time”
Liza Lim Partial Durations
Behind the closed doors of a family home, Domicile brings together a series of sound works that investigate the body, the voice, and our personal, domestic lives. The audience is invited to explore the various spaces of the home at their own pace, with each room housing installations and performances. In this intimate home setting, the viewer finds themselves in an unusually voyeuristic role, as if peeping into the private lives of the performers, through a series of works which range from one-on-one encounters, interactive installations, solo explorations and contemporary composition.
