The Synesthetes, modern as they are, will lead their musical quest on the undulating path of mysticism and cynical despair. The poem will be translated in sounds and motion using dance, music and moving images.
The Synesthetes: Stephanie Larriere – Tap Dance; Yo Shina – Dance; Michael Attias – Alto Sax; Olivier Conan – Voice, Laptop & Video; Shelley Burgon – Harp; Trevor Dunn – Bass; Raz Mesinai – Percussions
“Easter in New York” is the creation of a modernist legend which echoes the Golden Legend of medieval christianity. It is filled with fear, violence, love and rebellion and uses an imagery that mixes the medieval along with the contemporary. It is the chaotic quest for an atheistic spirituality where the old dogmas have little place and where angels fly along the shiny fuselage of the brand new aeroplane.
