"Ornithopera" Participatory Performance
Wednesday, March 4, 2009, 3:30
The orchestral ambience of "Ornithopera" – whether perceived as jarring cacophony or aleatoric pleasure – is an invitation to contemplate the meaning of absence, to lament our insistent superiority, to experience the possibility of presence, and to participate with others in being a bird among birds: to fly, to sing, to shriek, to dive, to honk, to wail, to peep, to jive…or to listen and watch in silence. Please come prepared to celebrate our interspecies commonality and to imagine an avian sense of place. |
