5100 Pentagon: Block Universe Performance Festival, Royal Academy, London, 4th June 2017.
A ritualistic flash mob performance that re interprets a moment in history, 5100:Pentagon explores modes of memorialisation and the potential of group subjectivity to challenge socio political hierarchies.
This item contains an open call leaflet, and poster, 8 choreography drawings,11 performance images, and 3 scanned pages of the festival programme (included courtesy of the Block Universe Performance Festival).
This item documents UK premiere of 5100:Pentagon at the Royal Academy, London in 2017 as part of the Block Universe Performance Festival, a week long programme of events exploring identity and inclusivity and the power of the collective voice in divisive times.
