Patrick sticks his head through the curtains and yells: “Hey, kg, I can’t come tomorrow but I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday anyway.” The next day, his head re-emerges through the curtains and he yells: “Hey, kg, I can’t come tomorrow but I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday anyway.”

The performance-choreographic project Elapse I & II was a duplicate birthday party event (for my 30th birthday) held in my studio in Montreal. Guests/participants were invited to join me for wine, sushi, and cake on the condition they return the following day and attempt to re-enact what they said, did, ate, drank the day before. Guests were asked to enter and exit the event at the same time on both days.
