Whatever Weighs You Down at Gaudeamus - Utrecht, Netherlands

Zubin Kanga premieres Neil Luck’s Whatever Weighs You Down, a multimedia work for piano, video, electronics, and the MiMU sensor glove, with which Kanga can trigger live electronics and visuals using techniques that have parallels to the ways audiences with disabilities interact with multimedia. Deaf performance artist Chisato Minamimura, who integrates British Sign Language into her performances, participates on a screen as a parallel performer. Whatever Weighs You Down both disorientates and clarifies by exposing to the audience the slipperiness, truths, and fallacies of multimedia constructions.

Part of Gaudeamus Festival’s Final Night programme. Tickets available from the Gaudeamus website.
