“SKY” is a one hour real-time performance created and performed by Katie Duck (Amsterdam) and Sharon Smith (Devon), in collaboration with cellist Ben Roberts (Devon). Katie and Sharon are known for their previous piece “Abandon Human”. You can follow their duet collaborative work on their website “Katie Duck and Sharon Smith”
‘SKY” is performed with text, movement, live music and a film that fills the room with silent, slow moving images of skies. With a laptop in the space, Katie and Sharon develop their text challenging AI with questions: “What is nothing”? ”Do you have emotions”? “What happens when we die”? They explore ancient stories of skies in tandem and in company with our current cosmic confusion. Their correspondence results in a tender playful dialogue, gently funny, absurd, and not afraid of the dark.
