NATION — electronic music and video projection performance world debut
Thursday, March 5, 7 p.m., CASA
Aaron Collier, a Lethbridge-based music artist, and Nick Bottomley, a Halifax-based video projection artist, combine their talents in NATION. A 30-foot wide set with 11 hanging paper scrolls will be used to transport audiences to a variety of environments through the use of projection and a live electronic soundtrack, composed of natural and found sounds. The show moves through ambient soundscapes to beat-driven anthems to delicate melodies strung together by a quizzical and mysterious unseen narrator voiced by Erica Hunt of New West Theatre.
