Audio Detour: Real Foxes are creeping up is a site-specific audio piece from Fiona Hallinan and Alex Synge.
At the starting point you pick up an mp3 player and a hand-drawn map and press play. A voice describes your surroundings and takes you on a journey through public and private spaces, using the architecture of the city as stage design. Audio Detour layers soundscapes and stories on top of the real city and asks you to use everyday space with a playful and childlike sense of experimentation, exploration and adventure, exploring places you might normally ignore.
