THE PREMISE
Hidden Architectures explores the connections and social knots that we make as humans. Driven by the interconnectivity of sound, movement & materials, it asks:
What does it mean to be connected?
Do our connections constrain us, or liberate us?
Are we ever able to act independently of one another?
THE WORK
A weaving of movement, sound, materials, light and environment.
Hidden Architectures is performed by pairs of people, connected mouth-to-mouth by amplified, near-invisible threads which resonate as the people fall, trace, and carve through space.
A weaving of movement, sound, materials, light and environment, in conversation with and transforming each other.
TRAILER
We recommend using headphones or good-quality speakers when viewing.
