Myth Eaters Performance & Reading Evening

Performance & reading evening with Kate Howe, featuring Butoh dance with Yumino Seki, live sound with Nick Parkin & readings from Anna Brook

RuptureXIBIT is an artist-run experimental residency program located in Southwest London. Rupture is committed to pushing the boundaries of practice, and as such, presents their first ever "writing show" with works by Kate Howe, Yumino Seki and Nick Parkin in collaboration, along with works by Sally Minns, and twenty authors, selected by Dr. Anna Johnson and Ashleigh Sean, winner of the Kingston University Master's Creative Writing award.

We look forward to an unexpected evening showcasing the interweaving of text based, written, spoken and visual works all jumping off from, colliding with or unearthing The Myth Eaters.

Artist and Writer Kate Howe will be in residence at RuptureXIBIT 1 Dec - 1 March, producing work in response to their research on contemporary implications of ancient myths, especially as they relate to the sticking power of belief around gendered roles in society, and the origins, outlines, and implications of "expected rules regarding the expression of gender in society" from private performance to public.

Up to twenty authors are in the process of being selected to present written and text-based works in response to Howe's theme, The Myth Eaters, and these works will be shown throughout the entire studios complex for the duration of the four day exhibition 26 Feb - 1 Mar 2026.

Join us at the PV on the 27th of February, from 6-9 pm, featuring Butoh dancer Yumino Seki responding to Howe's installation in the front galleries and working in collaboration with Howe's written work and soundscape artist Nick Parkin. Additionally five authors will be selected to perform live readings of their texts during the evening.
