Between 1954 and 1997 The Liberty Theatre had many identities, and hosted a plethora of films ranging from art house, to European foreign language, to Chinese martial arts. After 25 years laying dormant, STRUT Dance are throwing open the doors and inviting audiences to explore this labyrinthine Gold Rush era building that has endured where so many others have fallen.

Encompassing reproduced artefacts and archival objects, installation, film and photography, A Puzzlement pokes fun at pre-existing notions of taste and value – high and low, historical and sentimental – interweaving elements that may be considered ‘exotic’ or kitsch from one perspective, and mundane and every-day from another.

Across Las Hormigas, Mata Dupont’s works play out the complex, constantly unfolding process of remembering, forgetting, and rewriting history. The exhibition debuts a new performance and video installation drawing from the artist’s rich archive of her family’s history, assembled over a period of almost ten years. Presented in the adjoining galleries is La Maruja (2021) – a powerful series of large-scale photographs and a single-channel video, continuing her theatrical and cinematic explorations of magic realism, memory, trauma, motherhood, and the body.

Presented by Izzy Leclezio & Estelle Brown and State of Play as part of FRINGE WORLD Festival 2022.
