Project X Presents: Digital Dystopia
Project X Presents, the Birmingham based creative network will present their fourth and latest event in a brand new location in central Birmingham on Sept 13 2008.
The Digital Dystopia performance will further develop and explore the group’s remarkable “Omnimedia Experience” format - in which audiences enter a strange and custom designed wonderland of sound, light and interaction for an unforgettable evening of enchantment.
The main body of the event takes place in one special room - in which the audience is surrounded by three stages housing a seamless procession of music and spoken word - all carefully sequenced by the group and woven into a continual mix of sound. The musical effect becomes greater than the sum of each special part as each contributes to the whole, like a unique opera show written in collaboration by the collective mind of a variety of talented performers.
Visual screens will envelop the room, manned by a team comprising some of the most talented visual artists and VJs in the region, each producing work specific to the event and the music.
A separate room offers a change of pace and the chance for the audience to engage further with the event, interacting with giant toy-like installations offering a fun, different and tactile experience.
Dancers and physical theatre performers will lead the audience on a journey of discovery to confront the possibilities of a dystopian future:
Are ID cards, ubiquitous CCTV surveillance and mass addiction to television and the Internet all omens of a future society controlled by fear and strangled by bureaucracy?
Project X Presents is an independent network of creative individuals, artist lead and dedicated to the development of creativity and expression. have an abundance of experience between them, not least the delivery of three previous event, at the Epic Skate Park, Rainbow Warehouse and Concrete.
Project X Presents events are engaging and entertaining. The unique collaborations between performers, artists, technicians and musicians they entail result in a joyous sense of occasion and celebratory atmosphere - one of the many attractions of the shows.
You can’t bottle it - but you can be part of it!
In keeping with our previous work, this project will birth an entirely new venue on the Birmingham scene - more details to follow very soon!
