SONG – Ranters Theatre
Ranters Theatre's new production is an all-senses experience, best viewed horizontally from an Astroturf lounge. Everything from the smell of the ocean to the colour of sunset at day's end is experienced at a heightened level.
Overview
The title SONG kind of sells local group Ranters Theatre's latest work short. A collaboration between Brazilian visual artist Laura Lima, songwriter and performer James Tyson, production and lighting designer Stephen Hennessy and grand-scale perfumer George Kara, the hour-long piece is an immersive experience which leaves no sense forgotten.
The audience are invited into an entirely created version of the natural world, one in which everything from the smell of the ocean to the colour of sunset at day's end is experienced at a heightened level. The experience of the individual is both privileged and forgotten, as one moves between moments of hyper sensory awareness and the joy of being completely lost in the moment throughout the piece.
Got a short attention span or prone to mid-show popcorn cravings? The audience is free to come and go as they please and the Astroturf lounge setting means no awkward jostling past raised knees to do so.
