A
devil male escort, a genital-less femme fatale, a paranoid cyborg
and a vampire bimbo play dangerous games through doors in an extraordinary
performance combining live theatre, big-screen video and digital
effects. As identities begin to fragment and converge, New York
Expo award-winners
The Chameleons Group' explore the relationship between the esoteric
and the populist; the disturbing and the comedic; the virtual
and the 'real'. Mesmerising multimedia theatre fusing vivid dream
narratives, surrealist comedy and theatre of cruelty. |
The
Chameleons Group
is a multimedia performance research company directed by Steve
Dixon at the University of Salford, UK. Founder members are two
academics at the University, Steve Dixon and Paul Murphy, and
performer Wendy Reed.
The group devises and tours original theatre performances that
experiment with the close integration of video and live performance,
and have also experimented with live online interactive theatre
(combining streaming video and IRC).
The performance incorporates multiple imaging and split screen
digital video techniques with live theatre performed in hidden
doors and windows within the screen itself. The fusion creates
a haunting and visually spectacular 'theatre within a screen' |
