| Description |
Cracks in the veneer of ordinariness appear when performance and the procession of everyday life unexpectedly collide in the food-court. Performers appear and disappear into the crowd, whilst audience equipped with wireless headphones find themselves drawn into a series of covert and unexpected encounters. Mobile phones texts, incongruous musical moments, intimate confessions — PUBLIC re-configures the public space and the people within it. The food-court at Highpoint will never seem quite the same again. |
