2009 DARK VOYAGE The last bit of 09 took us across the atlantic for a 37 show tour through 17 european countries. This program reveled in the mystery of human shadows, filtered through a digital lens and projected into a wall of inflatable crystals. This show's format shifted between stops as regional energies like Famicon in the UK, Kallioinia in Stockholm, and Malmo's Prejka came onboard for one-off shows. You can read some assortments of local interpretations here from London, Bielefeld, Saint Petersburg and Aberdeen. Thanks to the proliferation of pocket cameras you can also catch some stills from Copenhagen and Leeds plus moving images from shows in Gothenburg and Marseille. SHWS NOASS.
