Description

"Unheimlich" is a cutting-edge telematic performance that takes Freud's notion of the uncanny as 'unheimlich' (at once familiar, homelike, but also strange, alien and uncomfortable) as its starting point. It is a collaboration between four leading digital arts and performance practitioners, and performers from the award-winning multimedia theatre company The Chameleons Group. --Paul Sermon
