Elegy of the Pale Lion: Wake
Presented by Vitalstatistix and eDuard Helmbold/Motus Collective
A choreographic and sculptural ritual about remembering, forgetting, and mourning. Performed on the stripped chassis of a Holden Commodore VF, the work reimagines the car as a uniquely evolved Australian species of feral lion, now facing extinction.

eDuard Helmbold’s sculpture and performance practice explores the roles of nostalgia and shame in the negotiation and production of cultural identities. In this ambitious new work, he collaborates with Motus Collective, an artist-run dance initiative led by Felicity Boyd and Zoe Gay, and experimental composer Daniel Thorpe.
The first part of this Elegy is 'Wake': a sculptural vigil for the scrapped body of Holden 6G1FA5E56EL942242.
During ‘Wake’ the Workers keep vigil over the body whist preparing it for the Requiem.
'Requiem' will be shown the following night. Tickets are also available.
This in-progress showing may run for up to 2 hours.
