58 Processions
58 Processions is a large-scale sound installation in St Pancras’ Church crypt.This is the UK premier of a collaborative project by artists Duncan Whitley and James Wyness.The labyrinthine passageways of the crypt act as the space for a re-interpretation of Seville’s Holy Week processions. Guided by sound, audiences are encouraged to explore the space as drum marches, brass bands, tolling bells and the feet of marching penitents process through the crypt’s darkened corridors.
The space will be animated by moments of loudness and profound quiet in turn, characterised by an austerity of presentation and a richness of listening experience.Opening event.
