An interactive exhibition about theatre, technology and special effects, commissioned by the Wilson Gallery, Cheltenham.

Item Type:	Show/Exhibition
Additional Information:	Void is a UK based performance company founded by Elizabeth Swift and Peter Ireland whose work over the past 20 years explores and exploits connections between digital media and live theatre. "Their dazzling deconstructions have to be seen to be believed," Glasgow Herald. "Theatre for the post-machine age," Live Art Magazine. "A maverick talent… one of the fringe’s visionaries," The Sunday Times. "Compared well to The Wooster Group in style and wry humour," Theatre Record. Cosy reflection from the sidelines this is not; the company dares to imagine, dares us to imagine, what freedom might be. A brilliant show - go and see it. Glencora Bailey ,'Three Weeks' An amazing feat … My money was on Time Shifts: Possible Worlds, which very shrewdly bound together the live contributions with an electronic backing track.
