Join us for an unforgettable experience at the Ventnor Fringe Festival 2023.
The highly acclaimed Sue Paraskeva will be showcasing her unique talents in a mesmerising live performance piece, titled “A Porcelain Performance.”
In the spotlight: The Atrium at Binnel Studios
This extraordinary show will take place in the expansive Atrium at Binnel Studios, St Lawrence.
The setting will provide a wonderful backdrop for Paraskeva’s intimate performance.
Rhythm and rupture: The heart of the show
Paraskeva’s chosen medium for this exhibition is her collection of finely thrown and turned porcelain vessels.
Each piece, a marvel of craftsmanship, will be dramatically altered during the course of the performance.
A symphony in porcelain: The unravelling performance
Some of these vessels will be struck, their flawless surfaces echoing with the resultant cracks and alterations.
Others will be forcefully collapsed or flung into the air, an act of creative destruction that gives birth to unique masterpieces.
Witnessing transformation: Audience participation
As spectators, we will bear witness to this transformative journey of porcelain under the deft hands of Paraskeva.
The performance, set to a minimalist soundtrack, is a compelling expression of change, impermanence, and the beauty inherent in each stage of transformation.
