About the Project
The Audio Cart is a new one-act play for six actors and intricate sound design elements. The work takes its premise from the idea that the actors interact with the audio cart that voices their unheard thoughts as they go through various thought experiments under the whims of the unseen character, The Director.
The Audio Cart is the new form of communication. Plug in. Your thoughts are now audible. Feedback. Your inner reality is distorted. Your thoughts are not your own. What you hear is a construct of the Audio Cart. Your mind is an experiment.
Founded by sound designers and composers, Nihan Yesil and Jonathan Robertson, SoundTheatre strives to create new multimedia works that combine sound, music, spoken word, choreography, projection art, and drama. Our productions are created on the premise that hearing and seeing are equals.
The Audio Cart was written by SoundTheatre specifically for 2014 KC Fringe Festival premiere. Yesil and Robertson, came up with a concept to demonstrate that sophisticated sound design and expansive soundscapes could be experienced even through the simplest means. The sound element of the play is created as the main character around whom all narrative revolves.
Premiered at Kansas City Fringe Festival in 2014, the sound of The Audio Cart is described as “a clever marvel” by Lee Hartman, KCMetropolis music reviewer.
After relocating to Los Angeles last year, founding member of the collaborative team, Nihan Yesil, presents The Audio Cart at Hollywood Fringe Festival for its west coast debut.
“The Ouspensky Audio Cart operates according to the metaphysical principle that if all literature aspires to music, then it is reasonable to hypothesize that all thought aspires to sound, pure sound, unconditioned sound shot straight from the undifferentiated sense manifold… Every thought has a wavelength, every idea has a rhythm, and now we will hear them. I mean to say, THE SOUNDS OF LIFE will be heard…” – The Director
