Fracture


October 22, 2016 - October 22, 2016 | ICE

A day of cross-border works, with a post-Brexit focus on UK connections. PC music signee Felicita performs with dancers from Poland’s acclaimed Stanisław Hadyna's "Śląsk" Song and Dance Ensemble, to create a hypnotic experience exploring folk culture, national identity, branding and farce. Lighting is by Scotland’s Florence To. The live world premiere of multimedia project “Lexachast” sees Finland’s Amnesia Scanner and Greek musician Bill Kouligas create mangled but immersive sound, running parallel to generative images created by Dutch artist Harm van den Dorpel. Capping off this very 21st-century program is a perfect synthesis of sound and visuals: Roly Porter’s immense, shuddering soundscapes are tethered to German artist MFO’s visuals, infiltrating Iceland’s alien geographies to explore the idea of travel as a mental journey through drones and satellites.
