During the closing weekend of the 58th Venice Biennale, taking place from November 22–24, 2019, the Swiss Pavilion presents reading performances by artists and performers Marbles Jumbo Radio and Julie Cunningham.

In the large installation of Moving Backwards at the Swiss Pavilion, artists Pauline Boudry / Renate Lorenz invited performers to experiment with backwards movements in a newly commissioned film. Alongside Marbles Jumbo Radio and Julie Cunningham, participating performers in the film include Werner Hirsch, Latifa Laâbissi and Nach. During the opening week of the 58th Venice Biennale, Marbles Jumbo Radio and Werner Hirsch have performed intimate readings to the audience.

These final performances take place in the garden and sculpture hall of the Swiss Pavilion, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday November 22–24, every day from 10am to 1pm, and from 3pm to 5pm.
