Alessandro Sciarroni: "U. (un canto)"
Advertisement
“An unmissable work. … Sciarroni’s vision, as always, is one step ahead, calling us to follow, to explore, and to be surprised.” —Dance Art Journal
In a hypnotic exploration of voice, rhythm, and human connection, cross-disciplinary artist Alessandro Sciarroni transforms the typical choral experience into something between concert and rite. For this exclusive US performance of U. (un canto), seven brilliant vocalists enliven a range of Italian choral songs from the past 70 years. The a cappella ensemble creates ancient polyphonic harmonies that move in purposeful juxtaposition to Sciarroni’s exactingly static choreography. The result is an immersive sonic ceremony that echoes long after the performance ends.
Copresented with Cantus.
