When the Human Engine Waits
2023A 15 minute live performance with projections created as part of Midsumma 2023 in collaboration with artist Yandell Walton.
The woman biting her nails. The security guard. The man with grocery bags. The teenager on their way to the party. When the Human Engine Waits is a deep dive into the fantasies of everyday people encountered on the street: The things unsaid, the actions untaken, the memories that lurk, the joys bottled up are explored through visual metaphor and movement. Award winning theatre company Rawcus collaborate with renowned projection artist Yandell Walton to bring you a new live art work performed on Melbourne’s streets at night. Set to a score played by a live cellist, three performers explode their secret thoughts into existence through projection art. Audience are invited to interact with the projections, putting themselves in the place of the protagonist, their inner worlds turned larger than life.
Yandell Walton is a contemporary artist whose work encompasses projection, installation, and interactive digital media. Yandell’s work has been widely exhibited nationally and internationally in galleries and non-traditional public spaces.
