<div><font size="-3" color="#000000"><b>Moving Forest</b> expands the
last 12 minute of Kurosawa's adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth,
'Throne of Blood' (1957), into a sonic performance saga with a
prelude of 12 days, a durational performance of 6 acts in 12 hours and
a closing Coda for the sake of argument.<br>
<br>
First presented at Transmediale.08. Berlin 2008,<b> Moving Forest
London</b> maps an imaginary castle and a camouflaged forest revolt
onto the hyper-playground of the London metropolis on the eve of
Olympics 2012. Presented by a temporarily assembled troupe AKA
the castle, Moving Forest brings together diverse
visual/sonic/electronic/digital/ performance artists along with
writers, walkers, coders, hackers, mobile agents, twitters, networkers
and the general public to realize a contemporary version of a classic
play. Making use of all media, the acts elaborate operatic
manoeuvres into an escalating scheme of conspiracy and its
contemporaneous political manifestations. The camouflage tree branches
of Birnam Wood are electronically updated with contemporary forms of
stealth and insurrection. Armed with signals and slogans, the Moving
Forest forces an entry into the Castle. A final merging of
forest and castle occurs during a moment of downfall, jubilation and
loss.<br>
