The Illusion & The Aftermath

Kenneth Collins (Concept, Director, Scenic Designer, Lighting Designer, Performer)

The Illusion & The Aftermath is a performance of live music that unfolds slowly over the course of several hours for a meditating audience. Meditation cushions and headphones are provided for the audience, who may come and go as they wish, staying for only as long as they would like. For someone in the room without headphones, the performance is virtually silent.

Performed by Temporary Distortion with music by John Sully.
