Susan Stenger and Attila Csihar: Full Circle Live

This live performance for voice makes use of the unique acoustics of the Civic Centre entrance dome. It represents the Equinox as the equal point between night and day, and takes us through multiple time cycles. Limited capacity, performed within Stenger’s sound installation.

The sound installation The Structures of Everyday Life: Full Circle unites Western harmony and Eastern philosophy to mark both the birth and death of John Cage. It responds to the unique acoustics of the Civic Centre entrance dome by slowly building and dismantling dense drones in evolving cycles. Across a six-hour day, time is unfolded on multiple scales, across clock time, lunar waxing/waning, and seasonal celestial cycles. Full Circle embodies the unity of constancy and change reflected in the I Ching. More information here.

Susan Stenger also performs John Cage’s Ryoanji on Sat 4 March at The Sage Gateshead, as part of Lament for John Cage.
