Special screening of Feature by Shezad Dawood
Wysing Arts Centre
Last summer Wysing Arts Centre commissioned Shezad Dawood to create an alternative Western on our 11 acre site. The result is a 56 minute long film that explores the slippage between live performance and cinematic representation. Zombies, cowboys, a donkey and a Valkyrie opera singer all appear, alongside artists Doug Fishbone and Jimmie Durham, as well as the many local people who took part in the production. A new publication on Feature, by Book Works London, will be available on the night. Screening FREE, just turn up.
