Andrew Schneider: YOUARENOWHERE - Arts House

Overview

Arts House and Melbourne Festival present YOUARENOWHERE, the new one-man show from Brooklyn-based artist Andrew Schneider. One of two works by the acclaimed creative on this year's Melbourne Festival program, the work could be described as part lecture, part light show. Or, to put it another way, "a fucked up TED talk on love and physics."

Taking the stage at Arts House for five nights only starting on Thursday, October 15, Schneider will speak on everything from parallel universes to quantum mechanics to AA recovery steps. All the while, he'll compete with crackling audio and bombastic lighting effects controlled both by his voice and by sensors all over his body. The desired effect is total sensory overload — and if the trailer below is anything to go by, it appears to have been achieved.
