A Defence of the Less Good Idea | SEASON 10

In many ways, A Defence of the Less Good Idea is one of the defining performances of The Centre for the Less Good Idea. Here, Kentridge delivers a performance-based lecture that, in its subject and its form, serves as a window into the processes, strategies, and interests of The Centre. “Here we are in Season 10,” says Kentridge, backed by a projection of his text-based video work, “not blowing our own trumpet, but rather seeing what instrument we have made.” As he goes on to outline The Centre’s inception, its progression, and the many ways of making art in the world, Kentridge is accompanied by a team of performers – a dancer, a percussionist, and a musician. These interventions serve both as a performative translation of the lecture, and a disruption of its flow and logic. Ultimately, the lecture is drowned out by a choral swell, segueing into the final performance of the programme.
