Description Specially commissioned for New York's Performa Biennial (2015), 'Rhetorical Chorus' is Agatha Gothe-Snape's largest and most ambitious performance work to date. Inspired by a chance encounter with the legendary American conceptual artist Lawrence Wiener, 'Rhetorical Chorus' brings together a choir, PowerPoint projection, spoken text and choreography to subtly unravel the myths and methods of the 20th century male artist.
