Stream OperaVision: A Myth
SHARE - COPY LINK
Welcome to a poetic yet disconcerting universe. Echoing voices sound in the distance. A trombone calls from the darkness. A siren morphs into angelic song. Someone pulls a piano forward. A memory of something, but nothing is quite as it seems. Everything you try to grasp, to understand, slips through your fingers.
A Myth is a sensory musical performance from O. in which song, movement, percussion, and brass converge into one vast physical composition. With six performers, composer-director Mees Vervuurt creates a dreamlike, mythological world, in which our relationship with the world around us is questioned. A Myth echoes with reverberating arias and screaming sirens. Intensely delayed baroque harmonies transform into the creaking sound of a machine starting up. Percussion and trombone create a hurricane of sound that ultimately subsides into meaningful silence. The performance challenges one of the most persistent myths of our time: that humanity is central and nature is something external to us. How are we, as human beings, in the world? What are the stories, the myths, we tell ourselves to relate to what surrounds us? And what happens when we let them go?
From Friday 10 April, the stream of A Myth can be viewed via the OperaVision website.
