The Theatre of Museums Presents a free live performance of Terminal Mite on the Thursday 22 and Friday 23rd June at 1pm.

Terminal Mite, a live art performance piece that presents organisms and consciousness as subject matter, is a unique arrangement of tiny objects that the work’s creator - Hobart Hughes aka John E Hughes - has choeregraphed via video and animation. 

Playing with the genre of the narrative, Hughes unravels and then reconstructs a traditional ‘ showbiz yarn’ into a multi layered performance that infuses doubt and a shifting points of reference into the story.

John E Hughes, a COFA Media Arts lecturer has been working in the fields of  animation, puppetry, sculpture and performance since 1979 and is a
founding member of the multimedia animation theatre group Even Orchestra and has had his work exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (1982).

Terminal Mite, which is being staged at the COFASPACE gallery (lower level E Block COFA) is Hughe’s latest work that combines performance, animation and video.
