Installation, Performance Art, Sound Installation, Video Installation, Light Installation

This contemporary art piece focuses on Light and is supported by a combination of sound, movement, and visual and costume design. The piece begins with Light: 3D visual projections are eased on to the west façade of the Gladstone Hotel, enhanced by sounds from both nature and industry. Then, the first performer climbs out of a lit window and begins to move, suspended high above the audience. In total, four aerial performers represent the journey from amoeba to human form. They perform in succession, each presenting a 20 minute act. The complete installation has a running time of 1 hour and 40 minutes. There is a 20 minute intermission in between performances.

All proceeds of A.R.R.R.T will go towards the Northern Lights Dance Theatre Foundation
