PORTENT (a ritual)

PORTENT (a ritual), Andrew Nicholls with Ad Lib Collective, Wind Up Bird and multiple other collaborators, 2024.

Performance at Holmes à Court Gallery @ No. 10 for the Perth Festival, Sunday 6 February 2024.

Drawing on Mesopotamian eclipse lore, PORTENT (a ritual) was created for my solo exhibition PORTENT, for the 2024 Perth Festival.

Inspired by my experience of the 2023 Exmouth eclipse, PORTENT explored the common understanding of eclipses as bad omens in diverse cultures throughout history. The PORTENT (a ritual) performance work was documented by Chad Peacock (Peacock Visuals) as the centrepiece of the exhibition.

Music by Ad Lib Collective featuring Wind Up Bird, jewellery and regalia by Sarah Elson, sound mixing by Azariah Felton, makeup design by Manuao Makeup, costumes by Rebecca Paterson, lighting design by Alex Spartalis (GSD Productions), directed by Mitchell Whelan, and featuring Thomas Fitzgerald Bloomer, David Charles Collins, Jeffrey Jay Fowler, Tim David Green, Nicholas Harle, Timo Kroker, Sam Madame and, Manuao TeAotonga, .
