About 7 Rooms - Dismantling Grief // Dagmara Bilon

About 7 Rooms- Dismantling Grief, asks how practices of dismantling, recycling and transformation might generate new rituals for those living with loss. Blurring the boundaries between live art, social practice and ceremony, cultivating temporary communities of care where loss becomes a topic for embodied enquiry. Developed in collaboration with a group of co-researchers—the project unfolds as an open performance laboratory. Conceived as a site-responsive, durational work in Safehouse1, the performance invites audiences into a shared space of witnessing and reflection.

This work is durational, open to the public between 1 and 5pm, Bardsley and Bilon's works are ticketed in the same ticket, and you can move between their spaces at your leisure.

FREE(HOLD) // n:u (melissandre varin) with Kelvin Atmadibrata, Ãssia Ghendir, Sel Kofiga and Echo Morgan

FREE(HOLD) is a devotional live artwork at the junction of dance, performance, and ritual. The performance is dedicated to the practice of trying again, and again. n:u (melissandre varin) gathers artists Ãssia Ghendir, Kelvin Atmadibrata, Sel Kofiga and Echo Morgan, unearthing tensions faced by those settling in the belly of the colonial beasts. Guided by spiritual, material and human encounters, the artists engage with ideas of land ownership, liberation, and the inherited, moving intimately with the ghosts of Empire. FREE(HOLD) reflects on the ways systems of dominance, sick capitalism and accumulation condition and pre-determine our (im)possible relationships to place, land, and belonging.

The performance begins at 2pm and lasts approximately 60 minutes.

ASCLEPEION // Ron Athey with Hermes Pittakos, Carmina Escobar, Federica Dauri and Myrgon

ASCLEPEION is a ritual performance installation by Ron Athey, rooted in his lifelong testing of the body as a site of healing, sacrifice, ecstasy, and transformation. The work brings ancient practices of purification, prophecy, dream incubation, and votive offering into collision with Athey's inheritance of ecstatic healing, the HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 pandemics, somatic therapy, and strange science.

Developed through field research with longtime collaborator Hermes Pittakos at the Asclepeion of Epidaurus, the Eleusinian Mysteries, and the Oracle at Delphi, ASCLEPEION reimagines the ancient healing temple as a living, contemporary ritual environment.

Doors 6pm, ends 8pm. A later performance takes place Friday 27 November from 9pm.
