FRINGE FESTIVAL 2020
Schhhhhh
Under the stairs
This area under the stairs is red-curtained off. Sound of theatre entertainment from within. Curtain activates two heads closest to passerby to “schhh” them
Baaaa
Motion activated
A passerby is picked up by a motion detector, activating one… three nine twelve baa’ing sheep
Fluid TVs
Constant loop.
25 CRTs carry a waterfall down 24 stairs to a rock pool below.
Each CRT carries it own relevant sound. ie from bird calls and leaf drips, then stream, then splashes of falling water…. more bird calls… to rock pool below.
Kaka
3-5min loop in the Concert Chamber
At opposite corners are two Kaka. They’re calling out for each other. Apart from waterfalls and other sounds of nature, their calls are crystal clear. They want to hook up.
BUT along comes MAN, breaking up the ‘Western Corridor’ (from Muriwai to Rangitoto) with housing, roads, planes and everything in between. Cars kangas and Industry are all taking over the soundscape… until the Kaka are gone
Its LOUD. This is how the public interacts.
