Cellist Francesca Mountfort and projectionist Tom Hume collaborate in this intimate and intriguing musical installation performance. With the use of multiple projections onto different objects, shapes and surfaces, they summon a timeless and bewitching musical dreamscape. This is a theatrical collaboration of music and projection that plays with illusion, the poetry of rhythm and cycles of life. As a classically trained cellist, Francesca uses her skills with electronics and history of classical music to fuse experimental, ambient and classical into an emotional and heartfelt soundscape. At times minimal, at other times dense, Francesca uses the depth, range and subtlety of the cello to create an immersive, spacial audio experience that is quite indescribable. Francesca conveys a new experience of an instrument that is rarely known outside of a classical context. In 2012 Nervous Doll Dancing will be touring Eidolon around Australia, New Zealand Canada and Europe. "The interplay between music and projection is hypnotic. The piece unfolds like the petals of a flower in a series of poetic images that progress from one to another, driven not by narrative but rather by music and emotion." Hannah Smith, Theatre View "Mountfort uses the full range of the cello which results in a sound that sometimes is comforting and lulling, at others emotional and heartfelt and if we turn around the corner words like nervous and claustrophobic are more likely to come to mind. That_x0019_ s quite an achievement, along with the way she manages to create some of the most beautiful cello playing I_x0019_ ve heard in some time." The Broken Face, Sweden. Prepare to be transported by an immersive and captivating experience; a performance of musical phantasmagoria not to be missed!
