a/v performance

True Fictions - Live Performance Trailer from THE LIGHT SURGEONS on Vimeo.

Coming out of my language enclosure for a bit. I went to The Others on Saturday to see some audiovisual performances as part of the Hackney Film Festival where I saw the live performance of "True Fictions" by The Light Surgeons.
I'm very interested in the use of multi-screen projections and I thought that in this case it worked quite well. It was very engaging and well shot and edited with good music and it drew you to sit down and watch it.
On the other hand what I don't really understand is what this gains from being a live performance and what does performance mean in this case. Food for thought.
