This year I made it through the rain to see the UK premier of Argentinian artists Luciana Acuña and Alejo Moguillansky’s immersive production Efectos Especiales at the Greenwich & Docklands International Festival (GDIF).
We watched as a dancer made their way through the streets, reacting to a soundtrack of music and shots, encountering coloured smoke and torrential rain before dying in a blizzard.
This was repeated 3 times with different dancers followed by us, the audience, then shown on screen as a movie.
We joined in to the rain and snow for the last dancer with the final screening including all three performances played together.
Yes, this part was in real rain, no special effect hoses required.
