Crotch (all the Joseph Beuys references...) 2nd Half from Zero Performance/Keith Hennessy on Vimeo.

2nd half of 60min solo performance

Crotch (all the Joseph Beuys references in the world cannot heal the pain, confusion, regret, cruelty, betrayal or trauma...)

Performance & installation: Keith Hennessy
Produced by: Zero Performance

Crotch references the images and actions of artist Joseph Beuys. On the surface the work is about art, its histories and heroes. Deeper, a sadness grows, a queer melancholy.

“Crotch is ultimately about ritual and healing through daringly intimate human connection."
