A contemporary requiem for life on this planet. A theatre performance combining large scale kinetic installation and an original musical score. Devised and designed by the team that created Arch (2024), Requiem asks: what rituals do we need to face the moment we are living? And when we come together, what will we choose to build?
In a world strange yet familiar, at an undefinable time, a group of people are constructing something. With a song of voice and breath, and the labour of human bodies, a jumble of metal becomes a giant ribcage, rising from the ground. Suddenly, it comes to extraordinary, uncanny life. A metaphor for our world: organic and mechanical, fragile and strong, dead yet breathing.
Requiem invites us to occupy a tension between the things we create and control, and their mortal outcomes.
Conceived and directed by Seth Honnor with music by Verity Standen.
