Complicite

Simon McBurney traces Loren McIntyre’s journey into the depths of the Amazon rainforest, incorporating innovative technology into his solo performance to build a shifting world of sound.

In 1969, McIntyre, a National Geographic photographer, found himself lost among the people of the remote Javari Valley. It was an encounter that was to change his life: bringing the limits of human consciousness into startling focus.

Complicite’s work at the Barbican includes A Disappearing Number, Shun-kin and most recently The Master and Margarita. Using binaural technology, the company’s new production is an exploration of nature, time and of our own consciousness.

Running time: approx 2 hours.
Age guidance 12 and over.
