10th - 13th September 2017
Tickets will be available at 9am Thursday 31st of August for performances taking place between the 10th - 13th of September 2017
Entirely hollow aside from the dark is a psycho-acoustic sound performance within caves; ancient natural auditoriums carved into the underbelly of Ireland’s countryside. The immersive installation creates a visceral experience of journeying into someone’s inner dialogue by using 3-Dimensional audio. The cave personifies a human consciousness questioning reality, wherein an audible inner dialogue and choreographed sounds echo the character’s thoughts and memories. In the darkness, this psycho-acoustic work unfolds and a symphony of sounds shifts around the cave.
Entirely hollow aside from the dark is an artwork by Alan James Burns, made in collaboration with writer Sue Rainsford and sound editor Ian Dunphy.
This event will have a small cost of 7 euro booking is essential.
Tickets are available at www.entirelyhollowasidefromthedark.com
