{ What's on this week }


VOICE OF GOD - MERGE BANKSIDE FESTIVAL - BOMPASS & PARR
Thursday 29 September to Sunday 2 October
Thu 12 noon-5.30pm, Fri 4.30pm-7.30pm, Sat and Sun 10am-5pm
at Hilton London Bankside,  Great Suffolk Street; free
Experience Bompas & Parr's supernatural voice installation
at this year's MERGE Festival. The creative duo have
conceived an art installation which transposes your voice to
infrasound to give visitors supernatural experiences at
Hilton London Bankside's swimming pool. 'Voice of God' is a
world first; the only time that infrasound has been
creatively used to give people a spectral visitation. The
physical installation poses questions about consciousness,
our perception of the physical world and our understanding
of the supernatural. Bompas & Parr has worked with acoustic
scientists to design and build the sound-based installation
that appears to connect you with the supernatural. A custom
sound system created by TPI Sound will broadcast infrasound
at 19 Hz. This frequency is below the regular hearing
threshold of a human but is the resonant frequency of the
human eyeball. These low-frequency vibrations can cause the
eyeball to distort activating the rods and cones in your
eyes through pressure rather than light. The soundscape
itself is being created by composer and sound designer Dom
James. Guests are invited to use their own voice to trigger
seemingly supernatural and divine visions through the medium
of sound.

SIGHTINGS! BLACKFRIARS - MERGE BANKSIDE
Friday 30 September to Saturday 1 October
Fri from 2pm; Sat from 4.30pm at Blackfriars Road; free
As part of the Blackfriars Stories series of events, Bureau
of Silly Ideas (BOSI), which has an international reputation
for its gloriously silly interpretations of heritage events,
is referencing the Zeppelin attack of 1 October 1916 when
Heinrich Mathy's Zeppelin was downed over Potters Bar. The
fireball was described by a newspaper reporter who saw it in
the distance from Blackfriars Bridge. Led peas-fully by the
Peas-Corps (bringing Peas to the World), local people and
visitors can get trained in the Peas Corps tactics, follow
the Foot Patrol and learn the truth about rumours of air
support. Harnessing their unique take on the contradictions
of war and its aftermath, BOSI will create a localised
spectacle in the Blackfriars Road area, in a free show that
will resonate with all members of the community, whether
they're residents or workers. While by no means glossing
over the horror of the original story (Zeppelins were the
first ever machines to drop bombs from the air on civilians)
Sightings! Blackfriars will both educate and entertain with
a show aiming to replace the fear and destruction of 100
years ago with fun and creativity.

Market; free
Keeping up appearances during a live food demonstration at
Borough Market, whilst trying to save the dish of the day,
will escalate into a ludicrous display of antics in this
interactive physical slapstick comedy. Monsieur Ma'Mon, the
world's greatest chef, is back in London with his assistant
Charlotta to present his newest food creations in a site-
specific performance for Borough Market's demonstration
kitchen. At each performance a new effort is made to create
the perfect dish, Ma'Mon style. Written, directed and
performed by Jonathan Peck and Robin Linde.
