Description Inspired by Spartakiada, the mass physical displays of communist Czechoslovakia; the history of gymnastics as a national form; the Brisbane Commonwealth Games opening; and a family celebrating the bicentenary in 1988 with a fancy dress party; 'Opening and Closing Ceremony' attempts to find where the individual body intersects with notions of family, community and nation. Clever, challenging and funny, Jane McKernen's solo is presented at Arlington Oval, Summer Hill, in a curious contrast to recent events in London.
