The Complex, Wednesday 4th May - Tuesday 10th May
The Complex presents a brand new performative installation between Ireland and India by Kerry Guinan.
The Red Thread is a monumental new production and limited ephemeral performance created by Kerry Guinan with an international team of collaborators.
For 6 performances only, from 8am – 1.30pm, an installation of industrial sewing machines will be activated live in The Complex. The kinetic installation appears to be self-operating, but there are puppeteers in hiding. Over 8,000 kilometers away, in Bengaluru, India, workers in a textiles factory press upon the foot pedals of their sewing machines. Their incidental choreography is reproduced precisely – and in real time – by the installation in The Complex, with the support of original networked technology.
