The last performance I went to at SVT–|||||—>
By the end of it, nearly half of the audience was laying on the floor in the middle of the “stage”. Jacob Green, when introducing the show, said “please feel free to move around in the space.” And the show was totttalllly waayyy worth it if you ventured around. You could see the instrumentation and instrumentators much closer. I know because I sat there– far away from everything, then I got up, then I walked around, stretched, and even laid down– and it was fantastic to do all that latter. I don’t know if you’re familiar with SVT, the big theater in the back, but it’s a deep dark space with stadium seating. Also an amazing space for happenings.
There were 7 people in the performance, it was dark, and they were spread out around the walls. Sporadic lights through shimmery water were just once of the scarce and transient sources of light. It felt to me like camping in the desert Wadi Rum Jordon– except underwater, and also you are in a more epic version of Bladerunner.
