Appetite Presents… Seasonal Specials: CHORUS
Intersecting lights trace rings above the heads of the audience, creating the effect of a whirling swarm of fireflies, or of planets in motion, like mesmerising orbits of colour.
CHORUS is made of giant metal tripods support rotating arms. At the end of each arm loudspeakers emit precisely tuned musical pitches creating a pulsating, harmonic drone, singing out a hypnotic siren call that is both uplifting and transfixing.
CHORUS aims to bring a contemporary music and visual art spectacle to a very wide audience. CHORUS was shortlisted for the 2014 BASCA British Composer of the Year award for sonic art.
Dates | Saturday 24 – Wednesday 28 October
Times | Shows run on the hour every hour: 12pm – 7pm daily (last show at 7pm)
Location | Stoke-on-Trent City Centre (Hanley) – Albion Sq (outside B&M)
Running time | 25mins
