Agatha Gothe-Snape: Rhetorical Chorus

Commissioned for PERFORMA, New York, in 2015, Rhetorical Chorus is Agatha Gothe-Snape’s largest and most ambitious performance work to date. Inspired by a chance encounter with the legendary American conceptual artist, Lawrence Weiner, Rhetorical Chorus brings together a choir, PowerPoint projection, spoken text and choreography.

With guest artists including Megan Clune, Brian Fuata, Sarah Rodigari, Brooke Stamp, Lizzie Thomson and renowned American vocalist and musician, Joan La Barbara, Gothe-Snape's Rhetorical Chorus fragments the singular, rhetorical voice, dissolving it into a spectacle of transmission, calling into question both the circulation and consumption of knowledge.
