Apart from his drawings and animations, William Kentridge's notes on his practice have also become a part of his creative output. The artist first worked in this format in a series of talks given as a part of Harvard University's prestigious Norton Lectures, in which he discussed his distinctive studio methods.

Peripheral Thinking compiles the artist's notes on Notes Towards a Model Opera. The lecture centers on Paris—the birthplace of ballet—and describes an arch of modernity that connects historical nodes as disparate as Johannesburg and Shanghai.

In this multimedia presentation, Kentridge offers his own interpretation of Notes Towards a Model Opera and its presentation in China, beginning with a discussion on the appropriate way to eat mangos before expanding the conversation to politics, art, culture, and society.
