Boris Chimp 504 is the audiovisual project of mEEkAlnUt (audio) and Visiophone (visuals). Divided in 3 Acts, “MULTIVERSE” tells the tale of Boris 504 – a chimpanzee sent to the moon by the soviets in 1969, that got stuck in space never coming back to Earth. Since then he has been exploring the space-time continuum, jumping between several dimensions of the universe. An audiovisual real-time performance that mixes techno, psychedelia and noise, along with audio-reactive visuals generated in real time, creating an immersive voyage between reality and fiction, between quantum physics and the best SciFi literature.
