A new musical theatre production inspired by Australian research scientist David Warren’s invention of the black box flight recorder, which records both instrument readings and pilots’ voices to aid in understanding the cause of potential plane crashes, will have its world premiere at QPAC’s Cremorne Theatre in May.
Black Box features a book, music and lyrics by Queenslander Paul Hodge (whose Queensland Theatre production Round the Twist the Musical premieres later this year), and will be presented as a binaural musical, with the audience wearing headphones in order to properly experience the work’s immersive 3D soundscape.
