Local Transport is back! WHO DO WE BECOME WHEN WE ARE ANONYMOUS? The live arts cabaret Local Transport begins its residency at #Southbank Centre with three immersive works by leading artists, writers and thinkers that explore what anonymity means to us now, and how it protects us from surveillance, permanence, isolation, injustice and consequence. What happens when you strip identity away and leave only the message? Each edition of Local Transport is a three-act live arts cabaret that examines cross-sections of #contemporary society, culture, politics and economics through the prism of creative works created for the LT stage. You’ll be introduced to new or unperformed work by some of the best artists, writers and thinkers working today. This event is part of Local Transport’s residency at the Southbank Centre. *** Act 1: ANONYMOUS Acclaimed #filmmakers LUKE SEOMORE and JOSEPH BULL will take you on a #sensory journey through anonymity with an original audio-visual composition created for Local Transport. Through film and a live score, Seomore and Bull’s live score and film will echo the observations of everyday strangeness and psychological nuance as seen in #Isolation, their #narrative #documentary about homelessness and the armed forces, and their debut feature Blood Cells, which follows a drifter through the shadows of Britain. Act 2: #DIGITAL "I" The ever-evolving, fearless #multidisciplinary artist SOPHIE JUNG takes the Local Transport stage as a performative storytelling, sharing her musings on intimacy and being in a digital world. A recent winner of the ING Young talent award, she is known for her lexical happy accidents and word games that dismantle language and turn the world on its head. Act 3: FACELESS Serbian artist and curator BOGOMIR DORINGER's plumbs the chasm between invisibility and transparency in a post-9/11 world: the sexualization of the fear in the bedroom and on the catwalk, how we lose control of our images, and the privilege of privacy. This audio-visual performance riffs on his on-going blockbuster exhibition Faceless, which has travelled to Vienna, Brussels, Amsterdam and beyond. #londonarts #royalfestivalhall #ltpresents (hier: Southbank Centre)
