Details

Behind each lit window there will be some tragedies. Most of these we claim no responsibility for, but there are two windows we should not ignore. Contains Violence is a contemporary Hitchcock-style thriller where events unfold in windows on the Hammersmith skyline, seen and heard from the Lyric terrace. This unique site-specific performance uses breakthrough audio-technology, through which audience members hear each whisper, secret and threat just as clearly as if they were in the same room. Part mystery, part peepshow, Contains Violence is a dark and surreal snapshot of the secret lives of others. Not recommended for anyone under 18
