IMMERSION

A LIVE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE CREATED IN THE MOMENTFor those who love extraordinary live performance, IMMERSION offers a rare opportunity to witness music being created in real time. A one-night experience not typically encountered in a theatre.Created by Chris Roland, IMMERSION expands the traditional idea of music into something immersive, expressive and profoundly human. Rather than presenting a conventional concert programme, IMMERSION unfolds as a single continuous musical composition performed live by seven sound artists using more than 150 acoustic instruments and voice.The composition is created moment by moment as the artists respond to one another, the instruments and the unique acoustics of the theatre, allowing the music to develop organically. Every transition, every interaction and every moment is unique to that evening and can never be repeated.THE IMMERSION ENSEMBLE:Antionette Bishop – Instrumentalist & VocalistJanet Farquharson – Instrumentalist & VocalistPaola Masullo – Instrumentalist & VocalistPaul Staal – InstrumentalistSadek Ezzideen – Instrumentalist & Overtone VocalistYlinel Trujillo – Instrumentalist & VocalistChris Roland – Creator, Conductor, Instrumentalist & VocalistWith a special appearance of 12 Young Vocalists from the Ikhono Youth Choir in Khayelitsha, whose voices become an integral part of the musical journey in a way that departs completely from traditional choral performance. Presented with a custom-designed immersive sound environment, gently surrounding you in sound wherever you are seated in the theatre.Whether you come to relax, reflect, be inspired or simply experience something genuinely new, Immersion invites you into a shared musical space where artists, audience, instruments and architecture become part of one living composition. One night. One living composition. One unforgettable shared experience.
