Interdisciplinary performance, 2012

mörkö is an interdisciplinary performance integrating sound by Emma Hendrix and live animation by Cindy Mochizuki with direction by James Long.

Based on a collection of interviews from Vancouver residents around ‘monsters,’ the artistic team builds a landscape using only the audio recordings and objects found in a basement closet of my childhood home.

The sound and moving images shape a portrait of a city through the ‘monstrous’ – a space, creature or thing of fear that we often conjure in our everyday lives when faced with the unknown.

With financial assistance from the Canada Council for the Arts.
Co-presentation with Vancouver New Music
Originally performed at the Russian Hall, 2012.
