Meat Market 19 to 22 July
This refined work requires a receptive open mind from its
audience, who is ushered into a small reception room to receive a piquant glass
of tea and choose an industrial or natural rock of their own, to then enter the
small gallery of a performance space.
In the intense, short but highly immersive forty-five
minutes Zoe Scoglio engages, discovers, explores and plays with natural and
constructed images of the forming, formations, and constructions of geological
terrain. Not a word is spoken and the
audience is free to read into it what they will.
Performer, lighting, sound, image and projections are honed and
melded to explore shifting interactions with the universe, earth and manmade
construction.
Throughout, it is the interactive mechanisms of sound and
movement that are particularly intriguing and affecting.
Shifting Ground is
a beautifully managed, sensitive and finely tuned collaboration of considerable
artistic merit.
Highly recommended for those into, or wanting to experience, performance art.
