Dissolved
Visually arresting and psychologically absorbing, Dissolved allows performers and audiences in different parts of the world to merge and occupy each other, in a doubled space that is half physical, half virtual. The space created is complex, ambiguous and beguiling. A door opens wide in one space as it slams shut in another. A wall both exists and doesn’t, putting up an invisible barrier. People and objects find they are both one thing and another, sometimes dissolving together to make a third, in a meditation on the other as being present in their absence and the instability of personal identity.
The production connected the Beaconsfield Gallery in London and the Sophiensaele in Berlin, in a collaboration between Station House Opera and Berlin-based artists Florian Feigl and Christopher Hewitt.
