SOLA / SIMUL is an aural and visual performance involving three performers. Translated from latin, meaning alone / together, it explores connection and disconnection in modern society. Using sound and images reflecting the natural and ethereal, it creates feelings of both tension and comfort in its viewers. The performance will take place multiple times throughout the night of the event, in various locations around the site. The darkness of the park and vastness of the night’s sky will enhance the experience and encourage the audience to share feelings of both community and solitude alongside the performers.
