INSTITUT 016 | live score | TAMAR ILANA x BLANCANIEVES Pablo Berger, 2012

vocal looping, Sephardic song, flamenco, and Indigenous motifs accompany Pablo Berger's reimagining of Snow White in 1920s Andalusia.
About this Event

A silent Snow White. A live voice. Sephardic song, flamenco, and vocal looping reimagine Pablo Berger's dark Andalusian fairytale.

Vol 16: Tamar Ilana performs an original live score to Blancanieves (Pablo Berger, 2012), building improvised cinematic landscapes through voice, percussion, and live looping.

This is the heart of VOLUME 16 of the INSTITUT experiment. Every week, a different hypothesis. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave — around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...

Come early for an open folk session with KRYVA KOSA at 5PM. Stick around — Nastasia Y takes the stage at 9PM, followed by Shaunt Raffi on vintage vinyl at 11PM. But RSVP even though it's PWYC so we know who to expect.
