Telescope

Telescope asks who – and what – belongs here?

Telescope takes the form of a live performance that results in an exhibition of borrowed belongings, and their owners’ thoughts about where they themselves belong.

Do different generations value things differently? Young people on the cusp of adulthood and older people who’ve lived a life are invited to lend us something to display – maybe something they’d be devastated to lose, something they’d like to get rid of, something they found and kept…

Telescope is animated by performer-hosts, who ask the lender-performers a series of questions as starting points for a text that is by turns complex, funny, familiar, extraordinary – and profoundly human.

It’s an insight into what we hold on to; what we value and why, both individually and as a society.

About

Telescope is one strand of The Questions, a three part project that invites us to gather, reflect and respond to ideas about belonging across generations, through live exhibition, conversation and installation.
