Imaginary Advice Live

@ Constellation Chicago

3111 N Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60618

Opening Monday, October 1st, at 8PM

Imaginary Advice is an experimental storytelling podcast, written and produced by Scottish author Ross Sutherland. Each episode takes a different format, combining essay, fiction, poetry and memoir, as Ross explores the ways that stories shape our lives.

Since creating the podcast in 2014, Sutherland has recorded a love story at a drum and bass rave, made cut-up poetry from other radio shows, taught an artificial intelligence how to perform stand-up, and turned a Jay-Z album into an art gallery audio guide.

For this special live edition of Imaginary Advice, Ross will be presenting a night of stories, essays and poetry never before heard on his podcast. Each piece is inspired by a piece of found video footage: ten seconds of an Irish news broadcast is transformed into a Renaissance painting, an old videotape of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reconnects Sutherland to his late grandfather, a TED talk is pulled apart and rebuilt to analyze our dreams.

This is his sole U.S. live date in 2018.
