Battersea Arts Centre is giving Living Structures an opportunity to develop their performance 'Cart Macabre' which was originally created as part of Klaus Kruse's MA in Divised Theatre at Dartington College of Arts.
Cart Macabre is a multi-sensory exploration of the signifying and effecting potential of space within a theatrical experience. The production is centred upon the scenographic concept of eight fully mobile carts in which audiences are taken through a journey across a multimedia environment. Enclosing its audience within the darkness of its carts and offering them a variety of kinaesthetic stimuli, Cart Macabre induces in them a state of high alert, perception and sensitivity. Through adjustable peepholes, windows and walls audiences of Cart Macabre are presented with large-scale video installations, physical performance, shadow puppetry, mask work and original songs. Cart Macabre challenges theatrical convention proposing instead a perpetual reinvention and exploration of space.
LIVING STRUCTURES is a motor that initiates collaborations between artists from multi-disciplinary creative fields, in order to create immersive performance events.
Living Structures is the first company ever to have been offered on-site accommodation during its residency at Battersea Arts Centre enhancing the intensive quality of their new production 'Cart Macabre, a collaboration between 18 international artists.
Core Members of the company are Klaus Kruse, Daniela d'Emilia, Dugald Ferguson and Ula Dajerling for the residency at BAC they are collaborating with: Uta Baldauf, Fabio Cicala, Aimee Corbet, Edward Currie, Jane English, Robert Hewitt, Jasmin Kailio, Alasdair Macleod, Phoebe Marsh, Dmitry Paranyushkin, Sarah Ruff, Charlie Scullion, Verity Standen, Zuhal Toptas, Fay Vick
