PS/Y’s Hysteria programme presents a multimedia fantasy on the experience of desire, shame and identification of the material queer body by artist Victoria Sin, featuring performance by Whiskey Chow and original soundtrack by Shy One. The performance will be followed by DJ set from Shy One.
A View From Elsewhere stages a series of narratives from personal to scientific, drawing on research into embodiment through lip syncing, the pathologization of queer behaviour in evolutionary theory, and a story of wilful self sacrifice in an attempt to join with an other. Structured in three acts, these narratives form a heavily constructed fantasy on the often-unsettling experience of the physical within the social body.
PS/Y’s Hysteria is a combined arts programme that explores health and illness in contemporary society, focusing on issues of gender, race and cultural identity. Hysteria is curated by Mette Kjærgaard Præst and takes place in partnership with organisations and institutions across London from August 2017 – April 2018.
