ABOUT THE PROJECT

What is Ancient Instincts?

Performance has the capacity to take shared moments and convert them into a liminal passageway in which communities share a common catharsis. 

In this project, we are trying to accomplish the opposite.  At the end of the performance, having just gone through the very same experience, the aim is to have the audience decipher different conclusions, sharing contrasting cognitive responses. By isolating the auditory experience through individual headphones, we designed 4 different auditory systems in which to perceive the one visual experience. 

A system of 4 soundscapes are in tandem with the images and movements, creating Ancient Instincts.
