BOLT ENSEMBLE
Legendary performance artist Stelarc will deliver an enigmatic robotic arm performance, where Stelarc and his apparatuses will generate sound mechanically — sometimes in involuntary ways.
This sound world will elide into a graphic score by JOLT Artistic Director James Hullick — with the score being performed by JOLT’s chamber ensemble, the BOLT Ensemble.
