FOUR ELECTRIC GHOSTS
set design, The Kitchen, new york
Drawing from Amos Tutuola’s novel My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and the arcade game Pac-Man®, Four Electric Ghosts creates a composite world at the intersection of game culture, the folktale and pop songs. The usual background projection is folded into an object and brought to the heart of the stage to directly engage the performance. The set thus turns into a constantly changing space affected by light and the animated graphics designed by Yuki Nakajima. The projection surfaces are split in various shades that the performers can quickly roll up and down, generating a multitude of spatial combinations and allowing them to penetrate the moving images.
