Summary
In a bold, socially charged performance at REDCAT, artist MPA brought Yoko Ono’s iconic “Cut Piece” to life, inviting audience members to cut pieces from her dress — leaving her nude — as a visceral meditation on feminism, aggression, and societal taboos. The evening also featured Ono’s “Sky Piece for Jesus Christ,” where the orchestra was silenced under gauze, underscoring her signature deadpan provocation. MPA’s rendition, marked by near-total audience participation and her unwavering stillness, transformed the act into a collective, tangible experience — a modern echo of Ono’s enduring call to confront violence, open minds, and ultimately, give peace a chance.
