About This Event

Join performance maker Sean Wai Keung as he reads eulogies to a selection of Collecting the World exhibition objects.

Blending both real and imagined histories, Wai Keung looks to reclaim emotional connection between museum object and audience in this special grieving guided tour which explores the death of objects as everyday items as well as their resurrection as Things in a Museum. Contains depictions of joy, violence, colonisation, death and bureaucracy.

Sean Wai Keung is a performance maker and writer based in Glasgow. He has particular interests in community and migration and his work often blurs the line between performer and audience, utilising hospitality to break down traditional boundaries without discomfort. He has worked with organisations including the National Theatre of Scotland, Tramway, Summerhall and CCA Glasgow.

Suitable for age 14+ (under 16s must be accompanied by an adult).
