blink

CalArts 50th Anniversary Happenings

A sensory landscape beyond the physical invites you to an experience of astral intensity
The outside world fades away as audience members put on diffraction glasses to immerse themselves into blink. Light, sound, and the human body serve as vessels through which we examine rebirth. We pull from the religious and cultural zeitgeist to meditate on the death of the human ego, the liminal space of purgatory, and the realization that we are one with the universe.
Multiple technical elements culminate into a visceral, supernatural landscape, including visual illusion techniques, lasers, ultraviolet light, fog, diffraction glasses, and a soundscape. The performance element includes multiple movement styles and a direct connection with the audience; Therefore each performance is different and conjured in the moment. Audiences are submerged into an unrepeatable experience in which they are reborn alongside the performer.

Content warning:

This experience makes use of strobe lights, lasers, and fog.
