Join us at Canada’s National Ballet School for this interactive, ever-changing sound installation that captures the diversity and multiplicity of the city as it is being lived, right now. Over the course of the night, audience responses to the question “Where are you right now?” will be recorded and mixed, live, into a multi-channel sound installation that will constantly change as the night progresses.
