Alma Mater @ Scotland Street School

Friday 28 – Saturday 30 September 2012
Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Scotland Street School Museum

Alma Mater is Fish & Game’s site-specific performance-for-camera tour created for Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Scotland Street School. With an original musical score from John De Simone and in collaboration with a range of Glasgow-based artists, Alma Mater engages with themes of childhood and the coercive, civilising power of education.

Individual audience members use portable video screens to explore the school and encounter traces of performances past. In its pioneering form, the work makes the encounter with Mackintosh’s architecture come to life, vividly evoking the unseen human dimension of the building.
