This work creates imaginary spaces through disparate combinations of acoustic and physical environments. Typically we understand a physical space through its acoustics, both sonically and visually. Through manipulation of these acoustics, theatrical lighting, and projections, this piece seeks to disturb this understanding in the service of a journey through the fantastic. The audience becomes an active character in an imaginative insects ritual.
