So Many Feelings

A snow-covered outdoor scene features a swimming pool surrounded by thick snow. In the foreground, a person in a yellow jacket walks along the edge of the pool, which reflects the overcast sky. The background shows a landscape of trees and a distant view of a city skyline over water, with more snowy terrain in between. The entire scene conveys a tranquil winter atmosphere.

An embodied call-and-response with live singing and projected video, Lucien Durey’s So Many Feelings juxtaposes expectations for the live and recorded performer, creating an emotional and humorous interplay between audience, singers, and screen. This ongoing project was first presented for Regina's Performatorium 2014: Festival of Queer Performance, and its latest 45-minute iteration interweaves picturesque video footage spanning over a decade. Joined by Caroline Ballhorn, Chance Lovett, Amanda Sum, and Mark Wolf, Durey presents new and old chapters that layer heartfelt and comic video performances with live singing, field recordings, and foley.

Produced with the support of SFU’s School for the Contemporary Arts

A snowy landscape features a turquoise swimming pool surrounded by thick white snow. In the foreground, a child wearing a yellow jacket walks along a snow-covered path. Snow-laden hedges and trees frame the scene, and the backdrop shows a view of a body of water and city skyline under a gray sky.
A man lies on a grassy field filled with small white and pink flowers. He is wearing a blue denim outfit and has a relaxed expression. In his mouth, he holds a large, colorful candy resembling a beach ball. One hand clutches a rope, while the other rests on his chest. The scene is bright and captures a playful, carefree moment.
Three people are standing close together outdoors. The person in the center has long dark hair and glasses, gesturing expressively with their hands. They are wearing a light green shirt. To the left, a bald man with a short beard is dressed in a purple corduroy shirt and looks attentively at the person speaking. On the right, a woman with curly hair is wearing a pink corduroy shirt and appears thoughtful, looking slightly away. In the background, there are blurred buildings and green palm leaves, set against a foggy sky.
A cozy living room is depicted, featuring large windows that provide a view of lush greenery and a lake outside. A person is relaxed on a sofa, lying down with their arms crossed, while two modern lamps illuminate the room. A wooden coffee table is positioned in front of the sofa, with a glass resting on it. Two armchairs are placed nearby, and a warm, inviting atmosphere is created by the soft lighting and natural surroundings.
A man stands center frame, wearing a pink blazer over a white shirt and black tie. He has a short beard and is looking upwards with a slightly puzzled expression. The background features a wooden piano and a greenish wall, with flower arrangements visible at the top.
A man stands in front of a green hedge. He is wearing a light pink blazer over a white shirt and a black tie. His expression appears neutral as he faces the camera, with his arms relaxed at his sides.
Three individuals are performing on a rooftop terrace in a rainy setting. They are dressed in colorful, flowing robes and holding clear umbrellas. The background features a cityscape shrouded in fog, with plants in containers and wet surfaces visible. The atmosphere appears dynamic, with movement evident among the performers.
