The Thadows Loom and the Sun is Black

Fri 27 May 19.30

The Thadows Loom & The Sun is Black follows the story of a couple travelling to a remote house at the foot of a mountain. After witnessing an unsettling argument between two strangers they begin to question the nature of themselves and their relationship. Overwatched by a distant, mysterious figure who is always just out of reach, they soon realise not all is as it seems, and their situation, dwarfed by a cataclysmic event set deep in the cosmos, forces them to question the nature of their own reality.

Soon, as if on the event horizon of a black hole, they fall out of time, their lives forgotten.

The Thadows Loom & The Sun is Black is a powerful cinematic, performance installation pushing the boundaries of physical storytelling, blurring the lines of what is live and what is recorded. For this presentation there will also be an accompanying performance of music and theatrical techniques used in the creation of the project.

VIDEOfeet are a Hertfordshire based art collective that unite a wide range of disciplines including film, sound art/design, performance installation, and visual art. The collective have an open approach to collaboration, with an aim to continually develop new practices and accessions to their work, which in turn suggest new artistic directions.

The Collectives' lines of enquiry include the relationship between online presence and real experience, how digital communication affects human consciousness and evolution and, recently, how our perceptions of time affect our understanding of ourselves, each other and of reality itself. Their aim is to create experiences that tell unique stories that play with our sense of physicality, the aural landscape that surrounds us and our visual acceptance of perceived truth.

Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
