Description
Eternal Research presents Rite of the Demon: Fall, an evening of collaborative experimentation between contemporary artists and ancient oracles. Featuring LA’s Fierra Ex Machina, inventors of the Demon Box, and joined by Testu Collective, in collaboration with performing artists Shape Language & Kaleena Miller, this multimedia event melds storied mediums with cutting-edge transmedia to offer the key to the Oracle of Delphi’s origin: the powers of embodied vision.
A synesthetic retelling of the Oracle’s visions through live-scored music, dance, and film, Rite of the Demon: Fall invites a conversation with the unseen and unheard made audible and visible. Utilizing motion-reactive live projection, audio-reactive lighting, and handmade instruments such as the percussive Demon Harp, Demon Viola, and Demon Bells (made from antique artillery shells), this performance amplifies the timeless conversation between ear and instrument, the aether and ourselves.
Following performances in Los Angeles and San Francisco, Rite of the Demon: Fall is the fourth iteration of Eternal Research’s ongoing seasonal series of intermedia events. More events to be announced at eternalresearch.com.
