Commissioned by and developed for the Royal Shakespeare Company and later adapted for the Enchanted Parks, Sprite Symphony is a magical installation by Davy & Kristin McGuire. Using projections and sound they created a beautiful yet dark display of fairies that have been trapped in jam jars and are trying to escape their glass cages. The fairies knock and tap on their jars and thereby create a polyphonic musical composition.
The sprites were exhibited in a Victorian display cabinet in the RSC theatre foyer in Stratford upon Avon throughout winter 2013
