Liz Magic Laser, a New York-based performance and video artist, explores the relationship between theatre and politics and how emotions and messages are manipulated and orchestrated through the dramatization of speech, settings and gestures. In previous works Laser has elaborated on the methods of Bertolt Brecht’s theatre, the Living Newspaper – a type of agitprop street theatre, and the television news. The talk will be held in English.

The event is organised in collaboration with Malmö Konsthall and the exhibition Liz Magic Laser In Camera 4-28 October, opening 3 October at 5-9pm.
