Moving Forest presented by AKA the castle
2012 London
http://www.movingforest.net

A twelve day prelude moving across the city; a 
twelve-hour sound art opera of betrayal and 
rebellion culminating in a spectacular series of 
disturbing performances in Chelsea College of Art 
Parade Ground; a one-day coda of debate.

12 hour live performance, 09:00 - 21:00 (GMT),  July 4
20 hour net audio stream 01:00 - 21:00 (GMT) , July 4

Four years after its presentation at 
Transmediale.08. Berlin, Moving Forest Moving 
Forest arrives at London on the eve of London 
Olympics. Moving Forest 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. 
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.
