A Chimerik 似不像 Project Lead by Caroline MacCaull

Performance in Development

Sunday, 2 October 2022, 5pm

Roundhouse Performance Centre, 181 Roundhouse Mews, Vancouver, BC V6Z 2W3

Performed in Vancouver live and in-person for the first time as a performance in development; 003_playback is an interactive work that invites audience members to vote to collectively decide, in real-time, how the lighting, sound and movement will develop throughout the piece. Drawing from video games and simulation theory, together we explore the many timelines we navigate causing a rippling effect with each choice. Framed as a performance-as-research, 003_playback, investigates how surveillance, control, and agency, actively play with our human experience by constantly shift our current reality or state.

The work was originally created to be an online work and is still in development in it’s current in-person performance format.

Tickets: 

Tickets can be purchased in advance through the Eventbrite link below and they will be available for purchase at the door. Each ticket is priced on sliding scale of $8 – $33 based on a “Pay What It’s Worth” (PWIW) model where you are encouraged to give in gratitude for the perceived value you will receive. Please note, no one will be turned away due to financial need.

What to Expect at the Theatre:

The performance is approximately 30 minutes in length. We will then invite audience members to engage with the technology through a short movement exploration and dialogue/Q&A about the work. The full performance + experience is approximately 60 minutes.

What to Bring (Optional):

As an optional way to participate in this performance, audience members are encouraged to either bring a smart phone or tablet to access our web interface.
