Undertone is an experiment in the integration of electronic music and circus. Using live triggering to create soundscapes from the circus performance itself, Undertone blends the visual and auditory elements into an integrated whole. As the circus and the music directly influence one another, no two performances are ever the same. Undertone is a product of a growing Australian interdisciplinary circus community. It takes traditional acts and presents them in unconventional contexts. It addresses the fundamental relationship between sound, physicality, and aesthetics, creating immersive moments tailored to all the senses. The Undertone ensemble has a combined performance experience of over 60 years, and is comprised of young and emerging artists, as well as performance veterans. Their performance credits include some of the world's most highly regarded companies – Circus Oz, Stalker, Strange Fruit, Palazzo, GOP, Moscow State Circus, Patch Adams, and the BBC. Under the direction of chronic innovator Avan Whaite, this wealth of experience is channeled in new directions creating moments that are unexpected yet assured. Perth fringeworld:
