"Salt drawing: two bodies"
Auditorium of Serralves Museum, Porto

When you see Fiona Wright's "Salt drawing: two bodies" at the Serralves Auditorium in Porto, don't be surprised if there aren't a lot of people about. This new solo performance, part of the dance and music cycle the 'Meninas', is designed for an audience of just one person at a time and is only a few minutes long!

Fiona Wright has been giving mostly live, solo performances since the late 1980s, extensively touring the UK and abroad. Her most recent work has been performed in intimate venues for small audiences, driven by her fascination with the solitary figure and the uncertainty and accidental intimacy that a lone meeting can generate with the public.

Subversive and rare are just two words which have been used to describe this unusual work where images of control and strength rub shoulders with moments of fragility.
