“Born on destroyed ground, the remains of the Earth, the three of them are waking up into a dream of an enchanted land. They are given a gift, an instrument that when played, embodies the world’s essence of wildness and beauty, while also hinting at darkness, destabilization and distorted realities.”
Magic Valley suggests an alternate civilization grown from dreams and imagination. Can other invented realities exist as endless reflections of our present image? Can we discover ourselves and grasp our essence in a parallel reality to reach a deeper understanding and rebuilding of our existence?
Exploring the perception of reality and the myriad possible variations of its construction, Magic Valley presents a unique vision of humanity, destabilising audience expectations through a hyper-sensitive, delicate relationship between movement and sound.
