A Guided Tour of the Exhibition: For Soprano and Handbag
Performed by Joanna Dudley

This bold and innovative presentation, created by William Kentridge and soprano Joanna Dudley, combines live art, drama, film, and sculpture as Dudley conducts an immersive exhibition tour in which artworks are empowered to speak for themselves in direct defiance of museums’ tendency to prescribe fixed meanings to and antiquate their subjects. It’s a thrilling, undefinable performance piece that challenges all the senses, offering countless moments of pure poetic pleasure and insight.

This event is part of a season-long campus residency with William Kentridge.
