Drift

Dávid Somló (HU)
Drift is a 40-minute-long spatial symphony designed for busy urban spaces that sheds light on the beauty and complexity of pedestrian motion.

During the piece, fifteen performers move along concealed pathways carrying portable speakers that each play one layer of a composition, enveloping the public setting in a mesmerising aural sphere. As the sound sources are completely hidden from the audience, it’s the spatial movement of these subtle, continuous tones that gradually unravel the piece’s choreography – and morphing the public space into something that is about more than solely transit.

Duration: 40 min.
Age: From 6 years
