Lover
VISION OF THE WORK
Music-dance-theatre for mixed chorus and percussion
This piece is a form of cultural dialogue: ancient Chinese love songs meet modern American poetry, a professional European choir meets a Buddhist-inspired ensemble of drummers who are also dancers, singers and performers. Western vocal polyphony encounters the sounds of millennia-old Asian gongs and drums with diameters of up to two metres, which are played by dancers. This mixture produces a sound never heard before and a completely new kind of theatrical art that harmoniously unites two contrasting worlds.
