The Lecher of Art: Rediscovering Antigone

The Lecher of Art – Lecture 5
Rediscovering Antigone
By Daniela Beltrani
Thursday 8 September 2011, 8-9:30pm
The Substation Theatre
Admission: Free (donations welcome)

Classical Greek culture offers us many opportunities to discuss human nature, in literary arts as well as in philosophy. Sophocle’s Antigone will offer the audience an opportunity to face and explore the tensions between individual and state and to consider negotiations between concepts of right and wrong in twenty-first century Singapore.

Classically educated in Italy and a doctor in Law, Daniela joined LASALLE in 2010 to pursue a Masters in Contemporary Asian Art Histories. Since 2010 Daniela has curated three exhibitions and written articles for art publications. Her interest in performance art both as spectator and performer allows her to explore different levels of communication.

About The Lecher of Art
Curated by Zaki Razak

Since April, The Substation has been hosting a series of performative presentations under the banner The Lecher of Art. These seemingly fictional and alternative methodologies of speech delivery contradict the authoritative, anticipated and doctrinal manner in which lectures are commonly presented. The series uncovers new possibilities for how lectures can be conducted and creates a new dialect with the audience, formalising a controversy between the lecture and the lecturer as The Lecher of Art.
