| visions, the festival of
visual performance presents 'Elevation' by wireframe Friday 25 – Tuesday 29 October at Fabrica, Brighton |
|
| Elevation is a unique theatrical event created
especially for visions 2002, bringing the festival right into the
heart of the city. Fabrica is one of Brighton’s best-loved and respected galleries, situated in the middle of the Lanes shopping district. Formerly a church, it retains its original 19th century columns, gothic arches and wood panelling, and revels in a splendid vaulted ceiling. wireframe has been commissioned to create a subtle, surprising and involving world in Fabrica, and to bring it to life three times a night. A figure peers over the precipitous edge. Another looks up into the heavens… Working with dramaturg Marc von Henning (Primitive Science), wireframe has created a dynamic narrative that allows you to move freely around the gallery space as you follow a story of hope, humour, striving and mystery. As the characters peer down from the balcony and shapes wheel in the air above you, wireframe use all their skills of textured sound and lighting to plunge you into a fragile, fantastical world. ..there is movement overhead. From 12pm to 4pm each day you can visit the free installation in the gallery - at 4pm, 6pm and 8pm see it transformed into the set for a moving, magical and thrilling production. wireframe’s previous work includes The Lusiads, at the Museum Of London (‘Beautiful and imaginative use of sound and light’ – What’s On; ‘beautifully fashioned puppets’ – Metro), North Hill Relay (‘The allusions wireframe conjure are impressive... love and disillusion crackle down the airwaves in this nicely eccentric, uncompromising show’ – Time Out), and visions2000 sell-out At Home (‘fascinating.. subtle, sensual and mystical.. pure unadulterated joy’ –Total Theatre), also invited to festivals in Bulgaria, Taiwan and Macedonia. wireframe are: Adam Keeper, Mervyn Millar, Ben Pacey and Tamasin Rhymes. They are joined for Elevation by performers Charlie Llewellyn-Smith and James Marson, and dramaturg Marc von Henning (Primitive Science). www.wireframe.org.uk visions 2002 has commissioned Elevation with support from the Regional Arts Lottery Programme and Brighton & Hove City Council.
