The Seven Layers of Bastian Bachman is a site-specific immersive piece staged in 7 rooms across 3 levels of the historic Icehouse in Phoenix, AZ. We will transform this industrial space into the interior mindscape of BB, a prolific musical composer who has a brain tumor infiltrating his auditory cortex. The audience will experience the world in a surrealistic blend of memory and music, as BB struggles to find the melody that will complete his final fugue, and to reconcile with his estranged daughter before his time runs out. The audience will guide itself freely through the Icehouse, encountering scenes featuring BB’s genius ex-wife Marie, his glam-rock doctor, his faithful protégé Solomon, his rebellious daughter Juliana and his lovable neighbor Lillian, a chorus of strange distorted nurses and six fragmented versions of BB himself.
