PERFORMANCE

“404 Reading Club” is a cross-media performance blending literature, sound, video, material, and physical movement. First developed at the Architectural Association's Interprofessional Studio, the piece returns in a new version for Camden Fringe 2025. Developed by artist-director Kailin Xu, the piece constructs a multi-dimensional “reading session” that draws the audience into a multi-sensory journey exploring feminist body politics and horror. Rejecting linear storytelling and the comfort of clarity, “404 Reading Club” invites sensation over comprehension. It is a collective reading ritual that is unstable, unfinished, and alive.

“Combining various media types and different performance styles, 404 Reading Club is a chilling and inventive representation of humanity and its presentation to the world as a means of communicating the philosophy of the body.” ——The Reviews Hub
