The audience will be issued with solar viewers and contained inside a mirror box 4m square ,which, during the performance is manoeuvred by the performers to create a human kaleidoscope. The performers, many of whom are trained in martial arts and butoh dance, will use the celestial activity as a means for measuring the distance and speed at which they must travel to fulfil their task. A live net-cast of the performance will also take place. This will, not only, enable a global audience to view the performance from the U.K. live on the Internet, but, also allow them to simultaneously experience some of the first live pictures of Eclipse 99 to be filmed anywhere in the world. The performance is free of charge and places are limited to 50 on a first come, first serve basis.
Admission is by ticket only.
The audience are invited to participate as a viewer and join in on workshops and discussions during the rehearsal period which will take place at the site between 6th -10th August, prior to the event itself.
