2 minute solos – art meets politics

Can you get your message out in two minutes?

12 people --6 artists and 6 'political types' each perform a 2 minute solo, in 12 different spaces, over two floors in the Damansara Performing Arts Centre. Conceived and curated by Marion D’Cruz, 2 minute solos dismantles and deconstructs notions of performance and creates an unusually intimate relationship between performer and the audience. Moving from one space to the next, 12 different groups of audiences of 10, will watch each of the 12 unique performances, one after the other. All the performances will start and end at the same time and there will be a Q&A with the participants and curator after each show.
