The Silent City Part II
The Silent City: Part II (Installation 2017)
September 22-24, 2017 at The Museum of Human Achievement in Austin, TX
The Silent City II is an audience-propelled musical audio play in four acts, set in the ambiguous future. Immersed in a glowing, dynamic environment, attendees will play audio consoles following a simple projected graphic score. Shows will feature low-pressure/anxiety-free audience participation (observers-only are also very welcome), live musical performances composed by Lauren Gurgiolo, and a journey with Eury, a super computer in a state of existential crisis.
Expect hand-cast illuminated resin lights, futuristically retro hand-wired musical consoles, and a fascinating story unfolding as participants trigger their parts on cue.
Due to interactive nature of the piece, attendance is limited.
