jason phu: 
art assembly

Early career artist Jason Phu brings his performance and installation, Procession in the Warming Light/Procession in the Rising Darkness to Antidote, to explore human responsibility for climate change. 

Venue to be announced (will be within Sydney Opera House)

Talks & Ideas | Antidote 

a live art-protest on behalf of the earth.

Spirits, gods and demons will march in protest against humans’ treatment of the arth, in Jason Phu’s exhilarating installation, commissioned especially by Antidote to be installed and performed at the festival. Phu will collaborate with schoolchildren, dressed in costumes inspired by Chinese folk tales, to create an interactive musical parade across the forecourt of the iconic Sydney Opera House, and around a installation of plants symbolising balance, regrowth and hope.

In the warming light, in the rising darkness, this procession is about the human responsibility for climate change. Do not miss this one-off performance; a chance to participate in an art event that responds to one of the most significant issues of our time.

thank you to arrow supporters and sydney opera house donors for their support in securing philanthropic seed funding for art assembly.
