an immersive experimental drama installation made as a research project
Installation
The first exhibition of the installation was at the Riverfront Arts Centre, Newport, from 4th – 13th November 2013. The pages that follow record the way that the space in the basement of the Riverfront was transformed for the installation, and also attempt to capture something of the experience of being at the installation.
Here are stills from the Riverfront show, indicating the screens, the space, and spectators:
