Projections and Live Performance (2022)
Specific to the contexts and histories of the Rochester high street, inspired by its unique shops, quirky features and objects for sale, weathervanes, snow globes, kaleidoscopes, music boxes, 51zero presents Cuckoo Clock Cinema. Audiences are invited at the threshold of the shop to gaze in at the windup toy- like activities that will perform for them.
Moving image projections, will be accompanied by a live performance of dance and music from the windows of Store 104 where the architecture of the building will frame the show. A cellist and a vibraphonist will experiment live during the last hour of each night, while the cuckoo improvised ballet performance of beautiful ‘port de bras’ will dazzle and delight you.
