100 Tonson Foundation is pleased to present License to Breathe, a live performance by Tangmo Ladapha S., as part of our ongoing exhibition Photopsia by Nat Setthana, curated by Suphon Niamkamnoet. From March 14 – 23, 2025, the site-specific installation Photopsia once again shifts its function—previously a screening room in February, its white space will seemingly transform into a stage for live performance.

License to Breathe is a poetic performance by Tangmo Ladapha, inspired by her reflections on Family Comes First, an anthology by Narisapongse Rakwattananont. Through fragments of memory and routine, actions rise and repeat, forming an intimate and inevitable rhythm. With each cycle, gestures undergo reduction, omission, and reconfiguration, revealing patterns that transcend beyond the individual level—a systemic force that regulates even the act of breathing. By tracing the tension between visible and invisible structures, the felt and the imposed, the performance opens a space for questioning what drives these cycles and how they might be interrupted.

License to Breathe performance consists of a total of six shows, scheduled from March 14–16 and 21–23, with one performance per day from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM.
