Angela writes:
Lazaro's Dream is an audio walk that mixes history and fiction into a surreal dreamscape and guides listeners through the Danforth area in Toronto, Ontario. Press play and enter a character's dream. We use Michael Ondaatje's In the Skin of a Lion as inspiration and include lines from the text which are voiced by the author.
Constellations says:
Angela Shackel is a sonic songeuse of the highest order. Her place-based work gives us space to reflect on the nature of sound and how we move though it, while we dream on of what could be.
