Dávid Somló: Drift
EVENT: Formations
VENUE: Plaza of the Industrial Palace (Prague Exhibition Grounds)
PERFORMANCE DATES: 12 and 13 June 2019, 10:00 am
Description of the project:
'Drift' is an hour-long, site-specific performance using a simple, yet complex collective choreography of sound and movement designed to the plaza in front of the Industrial Palace. In Drift more than a dozen performers are following invisible pathways covering the plaza and its close surroundings. On these pathways the performers are carrying around portable speakers from which the site-specifically composed score of the piece creating a unique moving soundscape. These layers of interaction between performers and passersby will create a playful, intense presence at the Plaza
The piece is a direct continuation of David Somló’s ongoing series of site-specific sound choreographies, such as Mandala and Length of a Distance.
Concept, Composition, Choreography: David Somló
Research collaboration: Daniel Makkai
Production Assistance: Cross Attic
Supported by Cross Attic, Prague, Workshop Foundation, Budapest
