Episode is a performative activation and conceptual extension of Becket MWN’s exhibition Sitcom Architecture. Playing with the idea of both “live studio audience” and live performance, the performance juxtaposes bodily presence with recorded sound. Here, the concept of identicality (which is dealt with in the exhibition as twinning) reemerges as repetition, applying not only to the idea of “re-running” or “re-watching”, but also that of looping as the repetition of pathways through the architecture of the sitcom.

Episode was conceived by Becket MWN and features the Vienna-based performance duo maria mercedes.

Becket MWN is a writer and artist based in Amsterdam.

maria mercedes is a performance group consisting of Julia Maria Müllner and Camilla Mercedes Schielin.
