SUMMARY:Car Park Space: Car Park Space: The Swarm Opera
DESCRIPTION:‘The Swarm’ is a dynamic new immersive opera and sound proj
 ect about honey bee swarms.\n\nTICKETS: http://thequorum.co.uk/\n\nIt nar
 rates the story of the perilous journey of migrating honey bees through a 
 city with their queen after she is deposed by her daughter and forced to l
 eave the hive\, taking half the colony with her. In their search for a new
  home they encounter a deadly extractor fan\, a thunder storm and a fierce
  debate over two potential sites to build a hive. With just one last meal 
 of honey for energy\, how will they reach a collective decision on where t
 o relocate?\n\nThis innovative 45 minute work will bring audiences closer 
 to nature\, stretching the boundaries of choral music\, voices and movemen
 t. The 9 piece choir representing the bees\, will be combined with a soun
 dscape comprising field recordings and composition evoking the urban lands
 cape.\n\nThe behaviour of bees is used as a paragon for modern social scie
 nce. Their modes of collective decision making have been recognised by our
  society and have much to teach us about smoothly functioning groups\, esp
 ecially ones capable of exploiting fully the power of democratic decision 
 making. Additionally\, the bees provide a fertile subject for the musical 
 composition. Sound and vibration are central to their communication and co
 operation in the beehive.\n\nInspired by the bees\, 'The Swarm' will explo
 re the fluctuating magnetism between the individual and the collective\, w
 hich will be expressed physically\, spatially and musically.\n\nThe devis
 ing process has involved extensive consultation with beekeepers\, Behaviou
 ral Scientists\, Neuroscientists and Biologists and will involve new compo
 sitions.\n\nThree site specific performances are planned for September 201
 6 in the Brunel Tunnel\, Rotherhithe and The Car Park Space in Liverpool.\
