Concrete Playground

CarriageWorks' brick nooks and cast iron crannies ooze with flavour, and the building’s trainyard surroundings make you feel like you’ve taken shelter in a decaying industrial landscape.

In 2007, De Quincey Co wove themselves into this landscape for their entrancing work, The Stirring. Certainly they have woken some force within the building, because now the mechanical history of CarriageWorks tick-tocks back into life with DQC’s new piece, RUN – a performance engine.

Mobility and momentum are the core principles of RUN, as DQC’s superhuman performers transform CarriageWorks into a living machine - an entity that evolves through live video capture and is heralded by Jim Denley’s harmony of flesh and musical instrument.
