THE COAT
Corin Sworn & Tony Romano September 18 to October 09, 2016
opening September 18th, 6pmjeux d’été is pleased to present The Coat, a collaborative film by artists Corin Sworn (UK) and Tony Romano (CA). At almost an hour, the slow and strange film follows a pair of traveling performers, a somewhat confused Canadian, and a father and daughter in search of an Albanian swim coach. With a nod towards Aristophanes’ play The Birds, the film follows the paths of these five travelers as they circle and weave through an ethereal and whimsical Italian countryside, all under the cruel, existential eye of an aloof chorus of birds.58 min, video projection
