Abstract / Summary:	DVD Performance of Proto-type theatres 'Whisper, for which Philip Reeder composed the music, and consulted for use of binaural technology and live foley. A visually decadent, aurally immersive performance that asks the audience to question what is real in a world of increasing technological sophistication. Obscured behind a cinematic screen, three performers are seen as shadows, silhouettes or in stark clarity, creating a fully enveloping environment to accompany their narration which the audience hear through headphones. The performers narrate a walk that switches between the ‘here and now’ of the story and dream-like memory, using live foley to create a hyper-realistic world of sound for the piece.

Additional Information:	“Whisper is quite simply an extraordinary piece of theatre.” – Carole Gordon, What’s On Stage “[the production] flirts with the feel of a supernatural, psychological thriller.” – Anita Gates, The New York Times “Whisper cleverly mines the dramatic tension between ‘reality’ and the seductive power of technology” – Paul Menard, Backstage “…unfolds inside your head like a nightmare…the mixture of foley soundscapes and the strange melding and disconnect between image and sound sucks you in.” – Lyn Gardner, The Guardian “Whisper creates an aurally imaginative and multi-faceted portrait of fast and fragmented modern city life and produces an ambitious and unusual experience.” – Martina Von Holm, Total Theatre
