An Absurdist Archive Of Isolation: a full body workout radio play
First Person Immersive Participatory Experience / Created as part of 'They Gather'
This first-person performance/radio play is a genre-blurring 26-minute trip offering a deep dive into our relationship with time and the freedom of isolation. The piece unfolds and transforms your domestic environment through music, text and your movement, turning it into the setting of a multisensory experience.
The narrator guides you through a sensory choreographic journey, plunging into contemporary storytelling and podcast wormholes while soaring past an eclectic mix of dramatic song, techno, musique concrète, raggacore, field recordings / soundwalks, indie pop and ambient music.
There will be time to move with fury, fall into the softness of cushions, and collapse into the folds of time. It is all as you choose. ‘An Absurdist Archive of Isolation: a full body workout radio play’ is a work to listen to and a work to read, both to do.
Programmed by: Kaatsbann (USA); Lowry (UK); The Place & Chisenhale Dance 'How Do We Tune In To Sensation?' (UK); Rewire (NL); Modern Body Laboratory (NL)
