Flutter is an immersive audiovisual performance by musician Aurora Engine (Deborah Shaw) that explores the lived experience of Tourette’s syndrome through voice, harp and electronics. The work moves through moments of disruption and unpredictability alongside calm and release, tracing how tics travel through the body over a lifetime. It explores a desire for order, conformity, and connection, and how solace can be found through sound creating a shared sensory environment that invites audiences to feel tension, movement and relief. In this new presentation, Shaw collaborates with projectionist Mettje Hunneman, whose intricate geometric network of natural materials, projected onto a network of strings, becomes a tactile, sculptural element that mirrors the music’s rhythms, glitches and harmonies.
