Before the Beginning is a surrealist soundwalk from artists & musicians Gerard Crewdson & Erika Grant, inviting participants to embark on a surreal journey through sound, exploring a miniature world before the dawn of time.
From the creative minds behind 2024's The Ringing Tree comes the unknown prequel, Before the Beginning. A free community event taking place Thursday April 10th, Friday April 11th & Saturday April 12th from 7pm each evening, meeting at the water feature in Te Aro Park…ALL ARE WELCOME, NO BOOKING REQUIRED!
An immersive sound experience, taking audiences/participants back to a time before the universe, before space and time itself, into the "Great Void"—a place of endless night and infinite stillness. Within this vast nothingness exists a single tear drop, holding a tiny, unknown world within. Visitors are invited to step out of their daily lives and into this enigmatic realm, guided by an intricate and immersive soundscape that brings the unseen to life.
Following the success of "The Ringing Tree," this new project once again seeks to create magical experiences in our central city. Whether people know & turn up expectedly or whether they stumble across this magical performance, either way it will provide a unique way to look & listen to our inner city.
