INTERZONE THEATRE: Chronomotive, Joel Cahen
Friday 1 – Sunday 3 Nov, around Watermans, FREEPlease see signs for starting point
Requires smartphone running the free Android or iPhone app Interzone Theatre and a pair of closed-cup headphones.
A rare disorder enables the protagonist to experience the place s/he is in, in a different time. But when Past and Future events start to mix up, the Present becomes a luxury.
Interzone Theatre is a portal to a parallel reality, unveiling a layer of narrative that is superimposed on the streets, waterways, parks and interior spaces of the city. In this exploratory theatrical experience, the city itself is the mise-en-scène, and passersby are unwitting extras in an intricate psychogeographic journey. App powered by Mobile Explorer. www.interzonetheatre.com
JUPITER STAR AXIS video, La Horrox
Additional sound mix: Joel Cahen
Friday 1 – Saturday 2 Nov, Cinema, FREE
A celestial film which shows an unborn foetus of the artist moving within his amniotic world mapped by a constellation of stars. Each star plays a part of a sonic composition, when its co-ordinates are changed by the movements of the foetus. Comprised from manipulated recordings of the artist’s baby afterbirth, the composition uses surround sound and is heard as if from the perspective of the foetus.
