Zubin Kanga piano / MiMU gloves / live electronics / live video

Laura Bowler (UK, 1986) SHOW(ti)ME (2022) 20’  (World Premiere)

An investigation into the multiplicities of the physical and virtual self through the lens of piano performance and practice. Excavating the intimate relationship between performance and instrument, SHOW(ti)ME gradually draws back the mask of performance, revealing the performer’s vulnerabilities through an explosive magnification of the minutia of piano practice.

The performing self is extended and contorted through a collaging of multimedia practices; live camera, pre-recorded camera, MiMU gloves, live and fixed electronics.

Produced by hcmf//

SHOW(ti)ME was commissioned by Zubin Kanga as part of Cyborg Soloists, with the support of a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, Royal Holloway, University of London, and the RVW Trust
