Performance at River to River Festival
On June 10 and 11, a rare constellation of seventeen artists will present
Lotto Royale, a performance lottery of one-on-one encounters, performances, practices, and journeys through the urban landscape for one viewer at a time.
Performances by Luciana Achugar, Lauren Bakst, Amelia Bande, Raha Behnam, Mayfield Brooks, Moriah Evans, Julia Gladstone, Nile Harris, Niall Jones, Jennifer Monson, Elliot Reed, Alex Rodabaugh, nibia pastrana santiago, Keioui Keijaun Thomas, ms. z tye, Mariana Valencia, and Anh Vo.
Rather than reserving a ticket to see a specific artistic work,
Lotto Royale audience members reserve time slots for the performances. Upon arrival (location to be announced), all individual audience members will be matched by lottery with artists for a one-on-one performance (one artist and one audience member). The artists and the audience will then travel to a nearby location in public space to experience the performance.
Lotto Royale was conceived and developed by artist
Camila Malenchini in collaboration with
Layton Lachman and the collective T.E.N.T. and was first presented in Berlin in August 2022 with performances by Berlin-based artists. For the River To River Festival,
Lotto Royale presents performances by New York-based artists.
Curated by
Camila Malenchini, Layton Lachman and John Hoobyar and guest curated and produced for the River To River Festival by
John Hoobyar.
