Fingerprints

Drop by The Crush at 3.15pm or 6.15pm for a free pop-up performance where visual artist Heidi Nguyen free-paints and draws in real time as musicians perform entirely from their imaginations. Each performance runs for approximately 30 minutes.

Then join us in our Upstairs Theatre for a ticketed, immersive experience. Musicians move among the seated audience, weaving the tones and textures of flutes, violin, viola, trombone, and percussion into a fully improvised soundscape that feels both contemporary and nostalgic. On a large screen, visual artist Steve Meyfroidt shapes fluid, bio-digital worlds using custom-built software, responding symbiotically to the evolving music.

Nothing is pre-determined. Every performance is unique, and you, the audience, are an integral part of a shared creative process where multi-sensory art is shaped and experienced in the moment.

Please note this is a 2-part event - your ticket price covers both parts. The first half is drop-in and takes place in the Crush, and the second half is seated in the Upstairs theatre at the MAC. If you have booked for the 4pm show please do arrive for 3:15pm to make the most of your experience, if your ticket is for 7pm, come for 6:15pm.

Performance Fingerprints is suitable for all audiences. For your comfort, please note that the Upstairs Theatre performance includes:

• Low lighting (not blackout)
• A large screen with moving images (no strobing)
• Musicians walking and playing among the audience
• Cabaret-style tables and seating

The 4.00pm Upstairs Theatre performance will be presented as a Relaxed Performance.
