Lynx Lynx 【Eaton Live Art Festival 2026】

Program Overview

"Lynx Lynx" (2025) is a site-specific performance by artist Aurelio Di Virgilio, originating from his long-term research on regional narratives. Drawing inspiration from his hometown, Abruzzo, Italy, the artist weaves together the legends of the local Apennine lynx with medieval "panther" allegories. Through this performance, he constructs a liminal creature that is both fierce and poetically captivating, inviting the audience to reflect on themes of disappearance and memory. The work was developed during the Pollinaria artist residency in Civitella Casanova.

About the Eaton Live Art Festival 2026

This event is part of the inaugural "Eaton Live Art Festival 2026," a new contemporary performing arts festival initiated by co-artistic directors Tang Fu Kuen and Chan King-yuen. The festival aims to expand the boundaries of live art and performance. It treats performance as a tool for knowledge production and community building, delving into how daily labor, habits, and rituals are transformed into performance forms. By exploring how repetitive actions shape the self, body-material relationships, and social conditions, the festival offers an experimental experience that integrates choreography, material studies, research, and lived experience.
