Stream, a new cross-art performance from dramatic group, Optik, is described as ‘a relationship between music, technology and live action that evokes emotional thoughts and memories in the spectator.’
According to Optik Director Barry Edwards, the cast – a viola player, sound mixer, video mixer and three performers – interact intuitively together and this invites the audience to respond to, and even control, the performance.
