LIVE COLLISION INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2014
23 – 26 April 2014
WE ARE LIVE | WE ARE LIVE ART
Live CoLLision International Festival is for the culturally curious and a curious culture; blurring the edges of the performance space between the real and the imagined, between the private and the public throughout the city…
A kaleidoscopic adventure beaming throughout Project Arts Centre and across the city into hidden locations, public addresses, covert identities, unknown callers, secret exchanges, collective actions and moments of perfect isolation…
Live Collision International Festival is a festival of live art creating extraordinary experiences for audiences and artists alike.
Questioning what are our obligations to act on our political and cultural beliefs, and what impact will this have on our sense-of-self? How do we consider those actions in relation to our city, to public space and our cultural gatherings? What are the consequences and how do we devise the outcomes?
Company Info
