SPECIAL EVENT
Torsten Lauschmann’s
At the heart of everything a row of holes
“The audience was rapt, following the spotlight as it swung, dimmed, to the spot wherever the
next projection would begin. Craning to the far left, we saw footage of mechanical toys, monkeys clapping cymbals, apes swinging on the spot,
strolling wooden mice on sticks with trundling legs. Switching onto the main screen, painting of cherubs playing instruments were overlaid with a clanging industrial soundtrack…..when it was over, the audience
didn’t want to leave.” Sean Welsh, Glasgow Film Festival
ACCA is thrilled to announce a special presentation of German artist
Torsten Lauschmann’s mesmerising At the heart of everything a row of holes on August 3rd 2012.
This special ACCA event, to coincide with the
Melbourne Art Fair 2012, invites you to enter Lauschmann’s immersive, spellbinding world in two
very special performances at the National Theatre in St Kilda.
Winner of the inaugural UK Margaret Tait
Award for artists working with the
moving image, Lauschmann creates a surround-theatre event where carpets
fly through the air, pianos play themselves, and mechanical monkeys and
mice make great music. The work was first commissioned by Creative
Scotland, and comes to Melbourne as a special event to coincide with the Melbourne Art Fair 2012.
At the heart of everything a row of holes simply stunned audiences when first performed at the Glasgow Film
Festival last year. The performance involves Lauschmann positioned
alongside the audience in the theatre, armed with a hand held projector
and series of special visual and sound effects that bounce around the
walls, floor and screen.
National Theatre, 20 Carlisle St, St Kilda
Friday 3 August – 4.00pm and 7.00pm
Tickets $12, $8 concession.
School students booked as a
group, $5 per student.
Performance lasts approximately 45mins. No intervals.
