The nine members of DIY Norwegian art collective Verdensteatret—video artists, computer animators, sound engineers, musicians, and visual artists—specialize in a breed of performance that’s equal parts concert, theater, and installation. In Bridge Over Mud, a massive, immersive work that materializes along 195 feet of train track, the artists manipulate a micro-landscape of railcars and other kinetic objects to transform the Fishman Space into a dreamlike environment.
A complex system of more than 60 speakers are complemented by projections and shadows, plus a live tuba player and two vocalists, resulting in a hypnotic tone poem that charts a journey of infinite possibilities.
