The Moving Forest is an extensive project and durational performance conceived by Shu Lea Cheang and Martin Howse. The project expanded the last 12 minute of Kurosawa’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, ‘Throne of Blood’ (1957), into a sonic performance saga. First presented at Festival transmediale.08. Berlin 2008, Moving Forest London maps an imaginary castle and a camouflaged forest revolt onto the hyper-playground of the London metropolis on the eve of Olympics 2012. This included with a prelude of 12 days, a durational performance of 6 acts in 12 hours and a closing Coda for the sake of argument.

ACT 1: REMORSE is a two-hour durational performance for extended bodies and voices with Francesca da Rimini, Linda Dement, Laura Oldfield Ford, Marco Donnarumma.
