V2_, Rotterdam<br>
<br>
V2_ presents three performances of <i>Unmanned</i> by the US artist
and performer Jordan Crandall during the Wereld van Witte de With
festival. <i>Unmanned</i> concerns drones, the flying robots made
famous by the US Army. <i>Unmanned</i> has never before been
performed outside the United States or accompanied by live images.
The performance will link theater, technology and the street, in
keeping with the theme of this year’s Wereld van Witte de With
festival: Who owns the street?<br>
<br>
Performance times: Friday 14 September (VIPs and guests
only), Saturday 15 September: 22:30 (after the Arminius
debate), Sunday 16 September: 15:00. <br>
Location: V2_, Eendrachtsstraat 10, Rotterdam<br>
Performances last approximately an hour and will be conducted in
English. Tickets cost €5 and are available during the festival.<br>
<i>Unmanned</i> is part of Festival Wereld van Witte de
With and 24uur Cultuur. The Drone used in <i>Unmanned</i> is made
available by Camuse: Broadcasting & Digital Cinema.<br>
