Stand of the Sun by Melting Metropolis: Immersive Performance excerpt and Artist Q&A

​This specially adapted excerpt of Stand of the Sun offers a bespoke, dynamic introduction to a larger interdisciplinary work - one that asks us to feel the relationship between human systems and the natural world, not just understand it.

​Blending live dance, an original musical score and immersive video design, the performance brings together movement, sound and visual storytelling to create an embodied encounter between human and sun - carrying audiences from a cosmic perspective into the lived reality of the modern metropolis.

​Originally staged with a full live band, vocalists and sculptural installation, this version has been reimagined specifically for Solutions House.

​Following the performance, Director Bryony Ella will offer an insight into the wider work in conversation with historian Dr Kara Schlichting (Queens College, City University of New York), sharing how research across multiple cities through the Wellcome-funded Melting Metropolis project have informed its development, with opportunities for Q&A.
