GEOMETRY
A literary evening of ‘real-world’ mathematics by Billy Mullaney

Sunday, June 14, 20:00 hrs
Playbill
Torpedo Theatre, Amsterdam

“GEOMETRY’ treats the language governing quadrilaterals, transversals and combinatorics as a form of found poetry. Instructions, calculations and hypothetical situations accumulate into a strange portrait of reality, one in which people continually have absurd problems that need solving, their lives governed by the promise that every one of these problems has a solution and every solution can be demonstrated. As the exercises unfold, the work exposes the gap between mathematical problem-solving and the more unruly conditions of lived experience, asking what it means to seek congruence between abstract systems and the world they claim to describe.”

A literary evening of ‘real-world’ mathematics scenarios with Billy Mullaney

June 14, 2026, doors at 8pm
Torpedo Theater, Amsterdam
Performance duration: Approx. 75min
Tickets: www.playbill.site

Playbill welcomes Billy Mullaney for a spoken-word performance that draws from an unexpected source: the geometry textbook from which he used to teach. Taking the language of mathematical problems as both script and score, Mullaney transforms a pedagogical tool into a theatrical event. Unfolding across a succession of exercises and chapters, the performance traces the peculiar scenarios through which geometry attempts to model the world.

Delivered in a deadpan style, ‘GEOMETRY’ treats the language governing quadrilaterals, transversals and combinatorics as a form of found poetry. Instructions, calculations and hypothetical situations accumulate into a strange portrait of reality, one in which people continually have absurd problems that need solving, their lives governed by the promise that every one of these problems has a solution and every solution can be demonstrated. As the exercises unfold, the work exposes the gap between mathematical problem-solving and the more unruly conditions of lived experience, asking what it means to seek congruence between abstract systems and the world they claim to describe.

Based in Amsterdam, within his larger practice Billy Mullaney works across theatre, choreography and performance art. His work explores how performances shape the way we see, think and pay attention. Often drawing on familiar formats—including quantum physics lectures, promotional trailers, DIY craft workshops and tarot card readings—he subtly deviates from their rules and standards, inviting audiences to experience them in new ways. Through these interventions, his performances examine how systems of knowledge, work and attention affect the body, revealing the pressures and absurdities of contemporary life. For ACT XVII Torpedo Theater becomes a classroom-cum-comedy club, where unexpected humour is found in Mullaney’s interrogation into the literary status of the mathematics problem itself.

II SEMINARIO DE INVESTIGACIÓN EXPERIMENTA
COMUNIDADES SOÑANTES
28-30 April 2026
Artea, Museo de Arte Abstracto Español and Facultad de Bellas Artes, Cuenca

‘A seminar organised around practices and knowledges that work with non-visual images: those that, rather than appearing on a material surface out there in the world, circulate among our bodies. These images counteract their lack of extension with a surplus of intensity — they are images that move, affect, impassion, wreak havoc, and haunt us with powerful affective dynamics […]’
