Passion, Lament, Glory
BY Jane Davidson
THEME LEADER The National Gallery of Victoria
SUPPORTED BY University of Melbourne, as part of the NGV Triennial – exploring the emerging intersections of art, design, science and society.
Jane Davidson investigates the aspect of movement within performance and music. Her contribution to NGV Triennial Voices is a full-length video of Passion, Lament, Glory, a live performance that took place at St Paul’s Cathedral in Melbourne in 2017. The work offers a dramatic movement-based representation of Baroque religious music used in Christian Easter ceremonies. The performance involved aerial artists and staged enactments of the scourging, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Christ.
