Laure Prouvost in Conversation, Saturday 28 January
As part of the Laure Prouvost in Conversation evening, actor Francesca McCrohon, who plays Betty in The Wanderer (Betty Drunk) gave a reading from Rory McBeth's translation of Kafka's "The Metamorphosis." Prouvost selected particular images, sound clips, and pieces of video during the course of the reading that served to fragment the spoken text and unexpectedly produce new correspondences between word and image.
