Triennale Milano
Performance

Happy Hour

November 1 – 2, 2025
Free admission from 3 to 6 pm
The durational performance transforms the foyer of Triennale into a landscape of living conditions. Movements, rhythms, and distances reveal the invisible structures of coexistence, while repetition traces the interrelations between body and environment, between the individual and the collective. The audience is free to come and go at any time — to engage actively, or to find a moment of rest. Through performative scores and game structures, the performers create responsive apparatuses and fictive situations that invite the imagination of alternative realities, while generating distance for reflection. In the temporary shelter of reciprocity, we might reveal the fundamental fact that we all inhabit the same air and the same space — and are, therefore, essentially equal.
Cecilia Xuetong Feng (Beijing) is a Berlin-based artist and designer. Her interdisciplinary practice explores the mechanisms of perception, articulating thresholds between presence and absence while framing the apparatus of the gaze.
Her performances were presented at The Watermill Center (New York), Studio Alta (Czech Republic), Sfumato Theater (Bulgaria), and Tranzit House (Romania), as well as at Liebig 12, NYT Art Space, Taborkirche, and Flusser Archiv (Berlin). She has performed in works by artists including Isabel Lewis, Eva Koťátková, Simone Forti, and Robert Wilson.
As a scenographer, her works were realized at Uferstudios and Stadttheater Spandau (Berlin), Potsdamer Tanztage, and Ars Electronica (Austria). Since 2023, she has been collaborating with stage designer Jan Pappelbaum on productions between New York and Berlin.
