PRESENTED BY THE SUBSTATION & INTIMATE SPECTACLE
Echo Mapping is a thrilling, joyful duet of sound and movement created and performed by longtime collaborators, electronic musician/composer Jack Prest and dancer/choreographer Azzam Mohamed.
Stripped back to its rawest elements: no sets, no spectacle. This is dance in its purest form, just body, voice, and live music in constant conversation.
Jack’s live score moves from subtle textures to thundering beats to ethereal trumpet, while Azzam performs both voice and body. His movement shifts from commanding stillness to fluid yet intense choreography, singing Sudanese melodies recorded, looped and manipulated by Jack into a mesmerising sonic atmosphere.
Performed in the round, Echo Mapping places you at the centre of the experience. Every breath, every beat, every movement is magnified, drawing you into a shared, visceral journey that is both deeply personal and powerfully collective.
Expect to leave transformed, exhilarated, and completely immersed.
