Fiction

Synopsis:
You are invited to a lecture. You know that the subject is probably important and it would be useful to hear what the speaker has to say but you can't keep your eyes open. You will fall asleep and you will dream. But you won't be alone in your dream; everyone else will be there with you. And you will have a chaperone who knows the landscape and will attend to you. So nothing can go wrong. . .unless...no...just close your eyes. Fiction is the second performance by Glen Neath and David Rosenberg using binaural sound and absolute darkness. It is an anxious journey through the sprawling architecture of our dreams and an exercise in empathy. Or is it an opportunity to have a 60 minute nap

As Gantenbein struggles to reveal his true self, he sees redemption might lie in Camilla, his manicurist, who loves to share stories with him, and it only when these innocent tales they tell each other begin to suddenly take on a factual life of their own, that he is left with a choice: should he live forever as Gantenbein and lose the one thing he is sure of, or destroy everything and rescue Camilla from the fate she has told him awaits her?

Ring

Synopsis:
You may not know us by name, but we will probably seem familiar. Maybe we have driven you home, engaged you in small talk, smiled at you across a crowded train. We are the reassuring voices in your ear (not the ones in your head - they are your own business). You are already a valued member of the group and were thinking about you more and more. Ring is a sound journey in complete darkness and an antidote to choice. the audience wear headphones that amplify the intimate details of the room, transporting you to another room that is very similar to the one that you entered. But in this room you have been recognised.

Notes:
Conceived and directed by David Rosenberg; Written by Glen Neath
