The antithesis of the computer and TV screen experience, SONG renews the song cycle form in an immersive experience of live music, the sounds of weather, the scent of the ocean, forest or earth and the colours of day’s end. Created by Ranters Theatre with acclaimed Brazilian visual artist Laura Lima (13 Rooms, Kaldor Public Art Projects, Sydney), and UK musician James Tyson, SONG places the audience within a constructed ‘nature’ – a world formed in the space between shifting skies and ‘cushioning’ grass. A cavernous indoor space becomes a multisensory environment in which audience members are invited to lounge on Astroturf mats, coming and going as they please. Fluid, fragmented, harmonious, SONG is a live and musically rich exploration of place, wanderings and the nature of purposeful existence
