19th - 22nd October, Bristol, UK
John Wesley's New Room

Measc is a multimedia live performance, which plays with ideas of consumption and production in the modern city. The piece explores the history of the 18th centuary John Wesley's New Room, trade in Bristol and contemporary responses to our 'one-size-fits-all' society. In developing this piece, polar produce have repurposed radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies, which are commonly used in the retail sector to tag and track distribution of goods across warehouses. Our attempt has been to create context specific experiences, which emerge through the interactions between performers, technologies and audience.
So how does this work? At the beginning of the performance, you swap your ticket for a map. Embedded in the map is a RFID tag with a unique code. As you walk round the space you're map is 'read', and triggers or changes multi-media content - sound, film, music and graphics. Extending this along the way you encounter nine tagged performers who interact with visitors, the building and with each other to create the unfolding narrative.
