Palimpsest explores the poetic potential of the language of audio-description. Available via a smartphone application, a collection of geo-tagged sound compositions invite the listener to go on a guided tour of the city. The members of the audience become actors in the movement, projected in spite of themselves onto the stage of an ephemeral theatre. Although the dancers are physically absent, their subtle evocation within the hyper-realistic narration will lead them to gradually materialize in the spectators’ imaginations - like phantoms haunting the surrounding landscapes. Physical proximity and intimacy are fundamental aspects of the concept and composition of the act, meaning that the audience will perceive the presence of the physically absent performers as something very much alive.
