You so done lyrics12/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Once one side of that energy gets shut down, something really strange and awkward happens. In the communication between artist and performer, there has to be a mutual energy going back and forth. It’s showing the puppet shows with the puppeteers visible. It got me thinking, how these livestream shows do serendipitously explore that grey area between performance and what’s actually happening. But it isn’t happening at me – if that makes any sense. When I watch the stream of a Primavera show or something, I know I’m in the comforts of my home. The weird thing was, I caught myself applauding between the songs, which was totally wild to me, because I wasn’t physically in a crowd. Everyone was a participant in the show as well as a performer. This idea works in the favour of online shows, and we took that as the theme of the entire show. But you know, I love it when you can really see the hardware, when the illusion you’re trying to create is always broken by how it’s made, and that was leading the entire performance. But how do you go past that? We made no money from the show. With the budget we had, which was basically based on our assumption of how many tickets we’d sell, we basically covered it to the last dollar. What was the idea behind using that as the setting for the show? It was interesting how you used the skeletal environment of the studio as the backdrop. I mean, you could’ve thrown in some giant cartoon sharks in there for good measure. I noticed the visual elements of your live stream shows were very grounded.
