The sphere we exist in isn't local any more. We are all part of a hunting game, we all lie in wait. We hunt and get hunted every day. The natural dangers of the wild world - are they so very different from the natural dangers of the civilised world? It's all dressed up like a party but there's no guest list and everyone is invited. The sphere in which we exist isn't local any more, and the way in which we connect has changed forever. Canopy of Eyes explores the development of modern human communication and its impact on social behaviours and physical and mental health, through song, music, clowning and interactive text. Being watched, being monitored, being commented on, willingly or unknowingly and the cynicism which surrounds that, are all themes explored within the piece. Voyeurism becomes an undercurrent in the piece which draws parallels between nature and civilisation - parading, masquerading, watching, being watched, fooled and tricked exist in both. Observed beneath a canopy of eyes, we are all part of a hunting game, and we all lie in wait...
