This elegantly re-imagined musical performance explores and deconstructs the traditional music concert format. Working with composer Helmut Lachenmann and eight musicians, French choreographer Xavier Le Roy fractures and uncouples sounds and movements, events and silences, actions and stillness. A gradual transition in how we perceive the music unfolds, intensifying and enhancing the concert experience itself. Musicians: "It is something between a theater, a choreography, and a concert performance."—Xavier Le Roy "Exploring how listening participates in what we see, and vice versa"—Xavier Le Roy This event is part of Fiction & Non-Fiction, one of Crossing the Line 2011's three curatorial program perspectives. |
