American Nick Cave is widely thought of as one of the most interesting performance artists of our times. He is best known for his soundsuits – intricate sculptures that combine art, fashion, dance and music.

He has created a new work for Sydney using more than 60 dancers and musicians in a kind of flashmob that descended on Pitt Street Mall on Thursday night and will be performed at Carriageworks this weekend.
