58 Processions
58 Processions is a large-scale sound installation in St Pancras Churchs crypt. This is the UK premier of a collaborative project by artists Duncan Whitley and James Wyness.
The labyrinthine passageways of the crypt act as the space for a re-interpretation of sevilles Holy Week processions. Guided by sound, audiences are encouraged to explore the space as drum marches, brass bands, tolling bells and the shuffling feet of marching penitents process through the crypts darkened corridors. The
space will be animated by moments of loudness and profound quiet in turn, characterised by both an austerity of presentation and a rich, cinematic listening experience.
Special opening event Friday 8th August 7 9pm.
Performance starts at 7:30pm.
The exhibition will be opened with a special event in the crypt featuring the premiere of a new work, in which a selection of Tomas Luis de Victorias Tenebrae Responsories, sung live by the Londinium choir, are interleaved with a selection of pieces from the installation.
