propagandaA short distance from Manchester is Dunham Massi, which is ownership of the seventeenth century industry A new audio installation It will provide the public with a unique experience for life, nature and pain.
“Origin” is the last technical installation of the right / left project, Passive mass landscape Written by Stephen Dobby and Colin Knightgil. They met both through Punchdrunk, where they are a creative manager and a creative producer linked, respectively, A company with creative scenic views Without the perception of people about what was possible in Angel With shows such as “Sleep No More” and “Dotable City”.
With a right / left project, Dobbie and Nightingale went from working inside Overcoming theater structures To create your own experiences from scratch. Together, they created bold works that are broken – sometimes literally – the concepts of the audience about it What can be the sound installation.
“Beyond the Road” at the Saatchi Show in London in 2019, he took the work of the Unkle electronic music and created the first “Walk album”. His next project was the “Return Chamber” for 2023 Voice campaign in a hotel room Only one person can test this at the same time.
Either in one of the wide stages of punchdrunk or in its most intimate facilities, both agree on that The sound is more than necessary in the experiment. “The image can be everything liked or deformed as you want, but the audience does not forgive a bad voice,” says Duby. Camera photos She trembles because they exceeded the budget to tell the story through the voice.
“We are used to joking, saying, basically, whenever we have a building and we can transfer the sound through it, We can literally extinguish lights and give someone a manual lampAnd I will have an experience, “adds”. Everything else was nothing more than additional. Without a sound, there is nothing. “
For “Origin”, Dobbie and Nightingale returned with an area. It is far from the advanced Punchdrunk production of “Sleep no More”, which mysteriously followed the “MacBTH” plot while the audience members They walked independently the many rooms to hotel.
“We have participated in major projects,” says Knightgel. It is really difficult“From the interests of the spouses in the sound of space,” “origin” arose from our attempt to reduce the scale a little and explore what could be done in a room where the intervention was little, but there is still an emotional effect. “
After spending time enjoying a 300 -acre park surrounds Dunham Mass, where Gamos works for free, those present can enter the luxurious house that exists. In the heart of the farmWhere the “original” will be installed. In the room, the audience will lie about the structure designed around the Himalayas lily to try the audio scene.
“We wanted to adopt Cinematic voice approach and re -perception In an environment where the audience is brighter, “Dubi explains. Although everyone is in the same room Listen to the same pictorial musicThanks to the way they have spatial music, each experience will be unique. “You may listen to more flute or more violin. I think it is by encouraging space and training, it changes the way to try music.”
“It seems as if you were to test music How to face the soundSomewhat naturally, “Dubi adds. The right / left of the” origin “was created for the first time with composer Toby Young and the Laban Logo lighting design.
Upon his return, now in Dunham a mass, the couple is still hesitant when explaining What is the “origin” really. “We had all our own relationships with births and deaths in recent years, and a lot of this thought has joined the work,” the clan recognized. “But this is all that people really mean.”
The music is unique
After all, the only way to try something is for itself. It is up to the public to find their own narrative experience. Although Music Dubi of his “dramatic waves” says that you can play from time to time with “Trops Family Trops”, and there is also “stopped by a few air sections.” All of this allows the public to feel it as you want.
“We are trying to create a piece An invitation to explore within himself. “To explore what may go through your head,” Dubi says.
Anyone who saw work PunchdrunkAs in the “The Burnt City” show, it will be aware of the abstract and direct approach to the product Towards indulgence. They have never avoided violence, nudity, or injustice. However, “origin” is a quieter and quieter aspect than the technical impulses of sound engineers.

“Now we live in a world Crazy with a lot of facts“Knightgel is still.” That is why we were interested in haven. It is a sacred space where people listen to music and separate from the madness there and may regulate their nervous system. ”
The “origin” will be in Dunaham Massi, Shishire, from May 3 to November 2.
