A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
How do we gesture to the invisible, the trans or the obscure? A performative conversation between boychild and Fernando, a sharing of gestures, and a bodily back and forth between mathematician and dance artist.
