The performance summons ghosts, telling the strange stories of Pomme’s ancestors’ experiences of spiritualism. A multi-layered narrative, where biography and myth merge with history and dream. It traces the cultural history of spiritualism from the 1800’s, when science tried to capture the invisible, to the mass bereavement of two World wars. Night Visit<\/strong> is innovative and immersive, the audience is surrounded by quadraphonic sound performed by Panos Ghikas<\/a>, and vivid images manipulated live by Fotios Begklis. Sound and speech fracture and fuse, narrative and noise cut-up and coalesce.\u00a0Night Visit<\/strong> conjures voices from the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
