Running across six spaces at Witte de With, ‘Relational Stalinism – The Musical’ is an ambitious assemblage of new performances created by artist Michael Portnoy, enacted and developed with a diverse troupe of dancers, actors, singers and improvisers. Many different registers of performance will simultaneously cohabit the institution, mixing inscrutable role-play scenarios, experimental sketch comedy, hyperactive spectatorship, melodramatic operatic interlude, prog-rock micro-dance and teary-eyed theoretical soliloquy. Combining futurology with satire, this exhibition transmutes the seeds of prevalent approaches to visual arts performance as a form of generative critique.

The performances will be on view at Witte de With on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays for only five more weeks (28 Jan – 6 March), so don’t miss it!
