EDITED EXTRACTS FROM LIVE PERFORMANCE
Psychic Spies is a live AV remix utilising original shot material, natural soundscapes, spoken dialogue and additional live electro-acoustic audio score. The narrative explores the layering of simultaneous realities as secret coded messages, broadcast on short wave radio during the cold war, as metaphors not only for the secret world of spies but also for the hidden world of spirits. This is a Faustian tale, a psychological thriller with a supernatural twist. The story takes as its premise real cold war psychic experiments asks the question what is the ‘game’ and what rules apply? As a live remix the performance investigates live cinema as an ever unfolding moment of creation, navigating new rhizomes, plotting new territories, evoking narrative plateaus, as the audience re-imagine their own story.
