Music Hole

A harrowing performance that probes the boundaries of our psyche through ghostly imagery.

Steven Michel takes the figure of the ghost as a starting point to explore our relationship with the passage of time, memory, and the invisible. In a space where echoes and fragments of light wander, four performers get overwhelmed by gestures, words, images, sensations, memories, and fictions.

With just a few spotlights, a mirror, and a piece of chalk, Music Hole offers a sensory and subliminal journey through our psyche and beliefs. Inspired by spiritualistic practices, Michel shows a world full of hallucination and eerie imagination.
