Walking: Holding
May 25 & 26 - Offsite Event
May 25 + 26 // Free admission // Offsite at the Bentway
This event is by registration only, and takes place at the Bentway
Presented by The Bentway, in partnership with Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.
Sign UpWalking: Holding is a unique, experiential and participatory performance that invites audience members (one at a time) on a guided walk through The Bentway neighborhood, where they encounter and hold hands with a series of people along the way. Rosana Cade’s project embraces social connections between strangers, illuminating how identity, intimacy, hypervisibility, and vulnerability intersect in public space.
From June 26, 2024 onwards, a photographic portrait series created by Kirk Lisaj with Rosana Cade showcases participants from the performances onsite at The Bentway, and invites you to experience the city from someone else’s perspective and consider how our identities can affect our experience of different spaces. Performances of Walking: Holding take place May 25 & 26, 2024, and the Photography Installation is on view June 26 – October 6, 2024.
This is a performance for one person at a time, where they will meet and hold hands with seven strangers during a predetermined walk. The performance will last 45 minutes. It’s free to attend, but tickets must be reserved through The Bentway’s website linked above. Limited Capacity!
