Dates:

Performance Sat 4 October from 2pm for 5 hours

Panel Sunday 5 October from 4-5pm

Marking the twentieth anniversary of The Institution at Chapter in 2005, Andre Stitt presents The Institution (Revisited) - a new installation and durational performance featuring an ensemble of Welsh and international artists. Investigating memory and its failure and the afterlives of trauma.

The Institution (2005) was an installation and site of ‘akshun’ that investigated space as a vehicle for tracing the repression and recovery of memory, commissioned by Chapter in 2005 as part of Stitt’s solo exhibition, Reclamation. Returning to performance after a twelve-year hiatus, the artist will stage a five-hour re-imagining of the original with guest artists Sinéad O’Donnell (Ireland), Jamie McMurry (USA), and Charlie Lockwood (Wales)

On Sunday, 5 October the remnants of the performance will be open to the public from 12pm, followed by a panel discussion from 4-5pm by Heike Roms, author of What’s Welsh for Performance (2008), and Professor in Theatre and Performance at Exeter University.

Purchasing a ticket to the performance will grant you access to the panel discussion on Sunday 5 October 4-5pm.

Access to the space on Sunday, 5 October is free and un-ticketed.
