Language:English
Abstract:Suspension of Belief (Sunday 7 June at noon) combines live rock-climbing with text and sound (both musical and incidental) in a specifically radiophonic work. Conceived and produced by Ed Baxter and Chris Weaver, it features leading British professional climber Gaz Parry and writer Jim Perrin (legendary climber, author “The Climbing Essays, “The Villain,” etc.) ----------------- Suspension of Belief is not intended as a sports broadcast so much as a meditation on extremity. On the one hand, the listener can follow it as a straightforward ascent of a rock face, with all the tension and drama that involves – broadcast live. On the other hand, Perrin and Parry are not in touch with one another but are each speaking in isolation to the radio audience. They share common ground in their experience of a terrain and situation known only to a small number of climbers. The themes of intimacy and distance are explored from many angles, with Perrin’s supremely elegant writing providing a commentary on the climb and the sounds of Gaz’s ascent providing a physically palpable counterpoint to Jim’s ruminations. Suspension of Belief is an open-ended broadcast. It will end when the participants reach some sort of plateau or obstruction.
