Paul Wong, 'Re-Act'

Description

Re-Act was a two night retrospective of live art by Paul Wong, taking the form of a live multimedia presentation including video projects and multi-monitors, live video mixing, musicians, audio, lighting, movement, and theatrics, all directed live on stage. Wong reframed dozens of collaborations, street pieces, cabaret nights, drag balls, and interventions. Re-Act was presented in parallel with Re-Wind: a curated narrative of past Vancouver performance video documentation, which was featured at the Video In Resource Library for the duration of November 1999.
