Harpa | Twice on Nov. 17 at 17:00 & 21:00 | 2,500 ISK
It sounds like a Tom Cruise flick ( just add exclamations: ‘Solar 5!
Journey to the Center of Sound!’) but this is science, not Scien-
tology, and it’s a sensory journey through space and sound. The
Solar 5 are five aural and visual worlds meant to take you from the
macro- to microscopic. You move throughout these worlds and
interact with them during the performance, which lasts for about
an hour. The performance is inspired by the five-fold symmetry of
the Quasi Crystals that make up the exterior walls of Harpa. Much
like Harpa, the performance is a marriage of art and technology,
science and sound. Unlike Tom Cruise, guests won’t be granted an
afterlife in Venus as a Thetan. AB
