Night Visit entwines biography, myth, history, dreams, surround sound and luminous images. Performance storyteller Sally-Pomme Clayton grew up hearing stories of spirits, the stories haunted her, until she brought them back to life. She tells her family's ghost stories, interweaving her live voice with recordings of her grandfather. She traces the cultural history of spiritualism, from the 1800's when science and photography tried to capture the invisible, to the mass bereavement of two World wars. The ideas of 18th Century mystic Emmanuel Swedenborg contrast with her family's exploration of the supernatural. Fragments of Swedenborg's dazzling visions are conjured, as he travels through the cosmos searching for evidence of other worlds.
This is a special site-specific performance created for the remarkable Asylum Chapel. Film and photographs will be projected onto crumbling architecture and mottled walls, manipulated live by digital artist Fotios Begklis. Quadraphonic sound will surround the audience, as musician Panos Ghikas improvises live on acoustic and electronic instruments.
