Killing
the Monsters:
a
poor musical about real life
pictures
/
video / sound
This
work is a quest to make a musical together and a quest for
happiness.
Since this is a poor musical we need the audience to work
as the chorus of the
musical. The first section is a karaoke choir rehearsal and
recording session with the audience. We sing karaoke
versions of known pop songs and record them so they can be
used in the second part.
In the second section with a few lights, self-knitted masks
and a bit of plastic foil a musical materializes in front
of your eyes. The prerecorded songs of the audience/choir
are part of the score. This story however sounds different
every night, as it is told together with the voices of the
members of the audience.”
