DOSSIER X is an immersive audio-visual collaboration between the composer Patrick Higgins, installation artist Matthew Schreiber, & choreographer Monica Mirabile featuring dancers Jes Nelson, Aarron Ricks, Tara-Jo Tashna & Monica Mirabile.
Inside of Matthew Schreiber’s Gemini laser sculpture, musician, dancer, and audience alike become immersed in a hypnotic landscape of engrossing sound & image, movement & meditation.
The installation is a monumental, site-specific laser sculpture made of forty intersecting lasers spanning seventy-five feet in an atmospheric haze. As the audience and dancers move below the cathedral-like geometry, the precise lines and angles seem to soften and evolve into curves reaching toward the sky. The piece engages with the alienation and inner emotional economy of contemporary digital life, its politics, erotics, systems, and violence.
DOSSIER X was curated and produced by WDI to premiere at OPUS 2018.
DOSSIER X toured to Le Guess Who? Festival for its European premiere in 2019.
Dossier X made its European premiere in the Great Hall of TivoliVredenburg at Le Guess Who? Festival in Utrecht, Netherlands. In this site-specific iteration, sculptural lighting framed the choreography for an immersive, in the round performance.
