ABOUT THE PERFOFRMANCE:

Szuper Gallery (Susanne Clausen and Pavlo Keresty) are back in Regina with a follow-up to their highly successful project The Extras (2008). Ballet brings into focus current anxieties around food production through an exhibition, video installation and performance that was originally inspired by Cold War instructional films for farmers. Through a blended choreography of farm labour and dance movement, the London-based duo dissolves the neat separation of rural and urban—the "ballet" on which the world food system depends. Originally developed for the Museum of English Rural Life in Reading, England with the participation of Michele Sereda (Curtain Razors), the MacKenzie exhibition will mark the Canadian premiere for this unconventional response to agricultural realities.

On May 6, 2011 an exciting performance of Ballet with Michele Sereda of Curtain Razors and Susanne Clausen and Pavlo Keresty of Szuper Gallery will take place at the MacKenzie Art Gallery. Imagine a three-piece band and a group of performers on a cinematic apocalyptic fairytale set who pull apart the “ballet” of the food system in the tradition of a cabaret.

Organized by Szuper Gallery (London/Munich) and presented by the MacKenzie Art Gallery and Curtain Razors with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Saskatchewan Arts Board and the City of Regina Arts Advisory Committee.
