Trespass

What can I see and do ? What by Imitating the Dog with James Hamilton PRESTON TOWN HALL Trespass is a new outdoor video mapping and sound piece by Imitating the Dog with composer James Hamilton. The piece will light up two buildings across three dates in Preston and Lancaster, bringing to life the grey walls of some familiar city buildings with the story of a child who goes looking for more. The projection will also integrate performances by a community choir. Part video game, part Where the Wild Things Are, Trespass promises to bring some adventure to the dark nights! www.imitatingthedog.co.uk 8.15pm – 8.30pm 9pm – 9.15pm 9.30pm – 9.45pm 8 #HarrisLive /// The Harris, Preston
