Trying: A Live Audio/Visual Experience

Trying is a live audio-visual performance that explores grief and memory: a unique experience for each audience, each night. Part of this year’s Monadnock International Film Festival! We are so happy that this event will be a part of this year's Monadnock International Film Festival. For passes that will get you into the entire three days of films, go HERE. Trying is a live audio-visual performance that explores grief and memory through the story of a young couple navigating the loss of a family member. Filmmaker and composer Kyle Turgeon performs the score live — looping and layering cello, synth, and piano — while projecting a live-assembled, chance-based version of the film behind him, creating a unique experience for each audience, each night. Kyle Turgeon is a filmmaker and musician whose work lives at the intersection of cinema, live music, and performance. Immersive and emotionally charged, Kyle’s work draws audiences into the characters’ inner worlds to reveal the shared humanity between us. Rooted in values of connection and presence, every performance is unique and shaped live in the moment – a version experienced only by the people in the room. Kyle’s work has played at festivals across the U.S. and internationally, including DOC NYC, the New Orleans Film Festival, and the Toronto Arthouse Film Festival.
