Sunken Cathedral
HERE@Home Screening: AUGUST 26 @7PM on Facebook Live
A musical and archetypal journey through the subconscious, Sunken Cathedral is a multimedia performance by Korean-American composer, sonic surrealist and TED fellow Bora Yoon, fusing voice, electronics, and instruments from various cultures and centuries with evocative video design. Set in a house where things are not what they seem, and whose architecture illuminates the various chambers of the mind, body, and spirit, each chapter of this work excavates blood memory, cultural identity, and the intersections where our greatest diamonds and demons are held. Directed by Glynis Rigsby, with projections by Adam Larsen, Korean dance and drumming artist Vong Pak, and the otherworldly kinetic sculptures by U-Ram Choe, Sunken Cathedral traces death, life, rebirth, and the cyclical and recombinant nature of our internal and external universe.
Sunken Cathedral is a part of our third annual PROTOTYPE Festival, co-produced with Beth Morrison Projects. For more information on the artists, works and events in this year’s festival please visit the PROTOTYPE website.
