Saturday 26 May 2007, 15.00–16.00

In a new performance project titled Did you ever want to be someone else?, Mathieu Briand collaborates with choreographer Prue Lang (b1972), formerly part of The Forsythe Company.

This unique performance will involve up to 100 participants performing real-time a series of simple instructions within the natural flow of visitors in the Turbine Hall.

Briand and Lang have shaped a very ambitious project that explores identity and social behaviour through its individual and collective dimensions.

This performance was inspired by some of the most interesting and disturbing visions in literature and cinema, touching upon the sci-fi imaginary and its questioning of the future of society and human nature.

Did you ever want to be someone else? is part of a one-year project presented in 2007 at Galerie Maisonneuve in Paris entitled UBÏQ: A Mental Odyssey.

This project was realised with the support of The Institut Français du Royaume-Uni
