Global Interpark

A sci-fi performance created with light and sound, envisioning a utopian future.

Introduction

<Diaspora> plunges audiences into an intensely strange and transfixing world of science-fiction inspired sound and vision.
Set amidst an uncanny visual world of projections, holograms and lasers, Diaspora presents a uniquely utopian reading of the relationship between humans and software.
From the seatshaking sub-bass pulsations of old school synthesizers, to ethereal electric violin lines and the purity of the acoustic human voice, this ensemble of extraordinary musicians evoke the complex and multi-layered build of a digital lifeform.
Hallucinatory. Visceral. Exhilarating.

  • ★★★★★” … an exhilarating visually and sonically immersive sci-fi experience – a fathomlessly strange encounter with the future as essentially “other”, but also intimately of the moment. More people should get a chance to see it.”
    - THE AGE
  • “Diaspora is quixotic, atmospheric, visually and sonically spectacular … a profoundly moving out-of-body experience.”
    - THE CONVERSATION
  • ★★★★ “The sci-fi themes are apparent throughout, but it’s the visceral experience of this work that will stick in its audience’s minds.”
