LEK – LAFAWNDAH & TRUSTFALL
 

LEK​ (2018) is a short film by artists LAFAWNDAH and TRUSTFALL and will be premiered in their first solo show. The film is a prologue to a larger, feature-length narrative entitled ‘Rampart’ and begins small, with the surface of things: the audition process.
‘LEK’ explores what comes just before the making of mise-en-scène in cinema: the encounter of a performer with a text; their responses to personal questions asked of them; their meeting of requests made of them; and their grappling with the physicality of their own voice.
‘LEK’ inhabits the space where an image or a person can simultaneously hide and show everything at the same time, in which the audition process is shown as a moment on a tightrope: a continually shifting game that might might set fire to a moment.
