'The Perfect Number' (2024, 60 mins) is Richard Layzell’s new performance/film and the sequel to his highly-praised 'Psychosomatic' (2023, 90 mins), a unique combination of film and performance that crosses five continents.More than a century after the anarchic DADA art movement emerged in Zurich as a response to global chaos, we again find ourselves struggling to make sense of the many conflicts and ecological crises we are living through.
In the spirit of DADA, this new performance/film travels in free-flow and touches on: dreams and visions, other living beings who eat grass, brutality and survival, trees fighting back, the history of photography, concrete underfoot, how to pose, the sound of plastic, rust in movement, wearing the wrong clothes, undisciplined golfers, the Bay of Fundy, the Centre of the World and how to spell Cayuga.
Along the way we meet Milton Born With A Tooth, Chief Wilma Mankiller, Chief William Fishcarrier, Emmy Hennings, Hugo Ball, Kino Paxton, Zeus and the omphalos.
FREE and ALL WELCOME
