If you’re heading to Dan Deacon’s Sydney Festival show, don’t forget your smartphone, whatever you do. It's your key to becoming an actual, live part of his gig.
Before rocking up, audience members are asked to download an app, which will enable them to play an active role in his spectacular, synchronised sound and light extravaganza. Deacon, who hails from Baltimore, will be in rare solo form and is set to deliver one of his wildest, most chaotic and most fun performances yet.
Last time Deacon visited our fair city for SydFest, there were dance races through the Hyde Park Barracks and the entire audience had to run through each other's raised-arm tunnels, one pair after the other. Expect everything.
Dan Deacon is one of our top ten picks of the Sydney Festival. Check out our other favourite events over here.
