STELARC & BOLT Ensemble at JOLTED Theatre 16–18 & 23–25 June

 

JOLT Arts is super excited to present Australia's leading performance artist – Stelarc – at the new JOLTED Theatre

Legendary performance artist Stelarc will deliver an enigmatic robotic arm performance, where Stelarc and his apparatuses will generate sound mechanically ­— sometimes in involuntary ways. This sound world will elide into a graphic score by JOLT Artistic Director James Hullick — with the score being performed by JOLT’s chamber ensemble, the BOLT Ensemble. STELLAR METAL ARC by STELARC & THE BOLT ENSEMBLE 16–18 & 23–25 June JOLTED Theatre 342 High St Northcote Seating is limited, so bookings are encouraged. TICKETS This is a historic performance that brings legendary performance artist Stelarc together with JOLT Arts. STELARC will perform with his robotic Extended Arm, and a new synthesizer bracelet developed by Stelarc, artists with disabilities and JOLT Arts. Thank you Stelarc for joining in with our NDIS artists to develop this interactive technology.
