Halloween Performance of Fortune

  • Aurora Theater 800 Aurora Street Houston, TX, 77009 United States (map)

Come in costume and witness San Antonio duo Potter-Belmar Labs present a special Halloween-themed live video performance. PBL are conductors of cinema, live-mixing audio and video, weaving sampled media and original work, cut-up and stitched back together, on the fly.


FORTUNE

What does the future hold? What follows us from the past?  What more can we learn about the present?  Multimedia artists and performers, Potter-Belmar Labs, will answer these questions and more in their audience-participatory live cinema performance, "Fortune."

PBL probes the collective subconscious of the audience, and presents the results in a live mix of sound and moving image.  Each performance of "Fortune" is unique; the audience determines the selections and arrangement from a set of reconfigurable vignettes.  Original sound and image compositions are interwoven with samples from the culture at-large and field recordings, generating a tapestry of allusion, abstract narration, and dreamlike hallucination.

Fans of live cinema, experimental film, participation theater, and new media art will enjoy "Fortune" by Potter-Belmar Labs!
Suitable for children with at least one cool parent.

Running Time: 1 hour
