Performance — Sam Belinfante, A convenient place for our rehearsal

Sam Belinfante's practice is deeply rooted in sound and performance.

This event has been postponed (please see below under ‘booking information’).

Drawing on this and the architecture of the Zabludowicz Collection, Belinfante will create a new, site-specific staging; A convenient place for our rehearsal.

Mining the history and traditions of classical opera, this immersive experience will reveal the mechanics of the theatrical.

This event is part of Hot with Excess: A Season of Contemporary Artists’ Opera, a special season of live events exploring the collision of contemporary art and opera, featuring Sam Belinfante, Beatrice Gibson, Trulee Hall, Richard Kennedy, Benjamin Orlow, Marijke de Roover and Alexandre Singh.
