CANCELLED due to illness

During his two weeks of research at Shedhalle, Tarik Hayward invites the audience to a research moment revolving around his work “Pure Life” (2019). “Pure Life” was developed in the context of an exchange with American poet, playwright, and translator Ariana Reines organized as part of Swiss Foundation Pro Helvetia’s Cahier d’artiste publication series (click here for the publication).

“Pure Life” is named after a water from a well-known Swiss multinational company and consists in water extracted from pig’s blood. Hayward reproduces this exact moment of water extraction for an interested audience at the Shedhalle on December 5.
