The Summit is a stage of collaborative performances, visual sensations and otherworldly experiences. Climb the stairs to the very summit of Sugar Mountain’s peak and find yourself drawn into the world of Phantoscopia. An extra-sensory exploration of human perception and phantasmagoria in a panoramic audio-visual experiment, Phantoscopia will take participants on a hypnotic journey to explore and project the shadowy landscapes of the Mind. In early 2012, Kirin J Callinan and Kris Moyes had a meeting of minds which spawned one of the most arresting music video clips to come out of Australia, ever. Enigmatic performer and strange fellow Kirin J Callinan and acclaimed sociopathic director Kris Moyes reunite for their collaborative live debut at Sugar Mountain. What they will do? Nobody knows.......
Melbourne based synth outfit Forces will collaborate with acclaimed choreographer Antony Hamilton (Chunky Move, Australian Dance Theatre, Lucy Guerin). The result? Another 'must see' one-off performance, curated just for Sugar Mountain. As a choreographer, Antony Hamilton created dances for The Lyon Opera Ballet, Australian Dance Theatre, Chunky Move, Dancenorth, LINK, The Victorian College of the Arts, Stompin and Rogue. This is sure to be an unforgettable, performance.
