Invisble Room by The Observatory





I decided to catch this performance yesterday at Lasalle. I would say that it was special experiment. Throughout the whole performance, I felt that I was taken into another dimension, where the audience were keep in suspense as we didn't really know what we were going to see on the screen. People, some conscious some unconscious, in a filthy messy place.

One particular scene I remembered clearly was, a hand on a boy's head that keep nodding but his face was frowning. And there was lots of echo or people's talking in the music. It seemed like the boy was living unhappy and the echo seems to be voices in his head and he had to satisfy the voices of those people. The people in the video were kind of sleeping in their own world, escaping from the cruel reality.

To be honest, I felt that I was challenging myself to watch this. It was dark inside and the loud (horror) kind of music. I felt that I was being hypnotise and I was rather nervous throughtout. I only felt peace when the acoustic sound of guitar came. And when the whole show end, i was feeling rather lost after the 45mins of high level music (I insert one ear plug in my left ear) and darkness. And I almost lost my balance. I just woke up from hypnotise state.

But luckily, I never did silly actions like screaming or grabbing someone else's hand. Haha.
