Mario García Torres’s The Cordiality Paradox highlights Bertrand Russell’s paradox and Zeno’s second paradox of motion, two concepts essential to the foundations of mathematics. In the seemingly impromptu, redeeming story, the protagonist describes a series of recollections in which Russell’s and Zeno’s ideas are surreptitiously relayed. Performed live by Helmut Berger, this is the second of three monologues presented as part of the exhibition Mario García Torres: Illusion Brought Me Here. Program length: 30 mins.
