DALLAS — Entering to booming bass drums, artist Nick Cave's band of "Soundsuits" paraded near the Nasher Sculpture Center on Sunday. Cave and the dancing, pom-pom-like creatures also performed at the University of North Texas several days earlier. The herd of animals danced to tribal music in an art and dance installation Cave cleverly calls Heard.
Cave was a graduate student and UNT and said the performance was meant to pull people into a dream-like state. “It’s really about a very simple idea that gets the mind to sort of remove itself from its day-to-day regimen,” Cave said in a North Texas Daily article. “A moment where you’re here in this alternative experience.”
