2025Lakenhal Laat Museum De Lakenhal Leiden, Netherlands Draft for Review is a performance by Cathleen Owens, developed in collaboration with Katerina Sidorova. Unfolding entirely inside a projected document, the piece is part research notes, part stage directions, part self-corrections. Administrative work starts to resemble puppetry, shaped by systems of power that appear cooperative yet turn every “helpful” gesture into a command. www.lakenhal.nl/en/story/lakenhal-late-12-december-2025 Group
