Høle in the skY is an artistic response to climate change and the specter of ecosystem collapse and extinction. With this work, Kathy McTavish uses film, music, poetry, narrative, and scientific data to create a world on the brink of a bleak and awful reality. In this world, the environment is changing dramatically, living things are disappearing, and hope is dwindling. Is this our world? Are we Martha? Is collapse inevitable?
The musicians of Zeitgeist, her fellow collaborators, enter this dystopian world and undertake a musical examination of this precarious reality. We reflect. Wander. We reach out to each other. We offer a hymn, a howl, our plea to save ourselves and every other species on our beloved planet. Perhaps.
Høle in the skY invites you, our audience, to explore as well. Wander the space. Or stay still. Listen. Read. Surf. Examine the scientific research we’ve assembled. Or find new data. Use of personal smartphones and other devices is welcome. Information on Høle in the skY can be found at holeinthesky.cellodreams.com
Høle in the skY is a concert-length event, roughly an hour in length. The soundscape and film will be running before the performance piece begins and will continue for some time after the musicians finish. Lights will come up gradually when hole in the sky is finished. Applause is not necessary.
