What happens when everyone in the city is listening to the same song? Wearing headphones, the audience travels across the city, an immersive soundtrack filling their ears, turning the world around into a poignant and personal cinema.As strangers drift past you and events unfold it becomes harder to separate the staged and the real.
Exploring ideas of social disconnection in the age of the iPod; part love song, part theatre … My World is Empty Without You will leave marks in your heart.
My World is Empty Without You is a development of Duncan Speakman’s piece of the same name shown at Mayfest 2008. It is commissioned by Mayfest, supported by Arnolfini and developed at the Pervasive Media Studio. Read more here.
