Betweenness (On Loop)

What might the ghosts of life sound like? What might they say if we could tune them in over the static, over the drift of time?

Featuring Danny Denton (All Along The Echo, The Earlie King & the Kid In Yellow) and Elaine Howley (The Distance Between Heart and Mouth, The Altered Hours, Crevice, HowlBux), Betweenness (on loop) takes the form of a sonic and spoken journey through the tapestry of a burgeoning relationship during a fictional Cork summer, following the days and routines of lovers Kathy and Joe as they etch their connection into the pavements, bars, living rooms and kitchens of our city.

Through live performance and installation, this durational event will unfold over four hours, with audiences free to come and go, or stay with us to experience all the things lovers bring to a relationship in public and private spaces: memories, conversations, hopes, regrets, senses of place and intergenerational identity, and the speeding and slowing of time spent in love, between lovers.

At once looped and live, and featuring set design by Elaine Moore and musical accompaniment by Niamh Dalton (Trá Pháidín, Ana Palindrome, Crash Ensemble composer-in-residence), Betweenness (on loop) encompasses live score, immersive installation, taped conversations, and layered soundscapes and projections, building to a crescendo that illuminates the moments of new love in an old place, and old love in new ways.
