"Somnium - Installation | Opera | Trance" was curated & produced by No Discipline Limited. A whimsical study of time and space based on the precursor of science fiction, Somnium, written in Latin during the 17th century by astronomer Johannes Kepler. Collaborated as the media artist, Kenny Wong and Things That Move Limited involved in 3 main key elements of the show: (1) Installation Opera in the gallery space, (2) 4-meter Moon Installation in the theatre, and (3) Instrument for the actor that affect the theatre ambiance by pointing and moving around the space. Participants were set free to move “between” light and darkness, present and future, reality and dream, going and staying. Gazing the moon from afar, they will be fully immersed in the dream-making installation constructed by media artist Kenny Wong, suffused with the sound and light sculpted by other artists in theatre. Participants can also enjoy an operatic-visual installation with six perspectives to understand the thoughts and emotions of each characters in the story. Extracted from House Programme of "Somnium", Kenny wrote: "In the gallery, we created an almost empty space for the opera characters to construct sequential situations by speech, body and projection. Do robots function only as robots? Can they also act as avatars to human performers, or carry out something else? The scattered images on varied materials reflect and refract as they fill up the space with light and colors. We attempted to take away the conventional elements in opera, and leave the space with sound and human voices delivered by wheeled robots. We created the locale and circumstance, and you are invited to fill in the gaps that connect the sound, the space and the materials."
