Structure (The Power that Flows Through Us)

The Power that Flows Through Us explores the construction and political context around the Clyde Dam, the third-largest hydroelectric plant in Aotearoa and a legacy of Robert Muldoon’s 'Think Big' initiative. In this work, Matthew Galloway uses poetry as sonic interventions, large-scale projections of drone footage, and archival political cartoons blown up into sculptural form to locate the viewer within the narratives and perspectives swirling around the Clyde Dam since its inception. In its articulation of the monumental physicality of the dam, The Power that Flows Through Us invites us to consider not only the physical generation of electrical power but also the distribution and implementation of political power.

With Caine gone and the circus dark, the cast are left with only the mistakes and traumas of their pasts to keep them company.

Also, presumably at some point someone says something funny, because this ending can’t be THAT depressing, can it? A theatrical screening of episode 8 and the all new, hour-long episode 9.
