Winterreise Festival: David Adam Moore
This multimedia version of "Winterreise" draws the audience into the emotional journey of the poet.
The projection-mapped environment acts as a metaphor for consciousness, a self-contained landscape that transforms completely from song to song - sometimes guiding the narrative by suggesting time, and place, and at other times immersing the audience in the more abstract, symbolic world of the poet's imagination.
The projection content consists entirely of moving images that have been created for the show by GLMMR."
