The performance for museums has been developed by soprano Joanna Dudley with William Kentridge, who have worked together on numerous productions by Kentridge for the stage. The opposite of a classic guided tour, this is a moment of pure poetic pleasure that puts artworks against interpretation as part of a theatrical mise-en-scène.
