How far out of this world can we go? Mars is getting closer and closer. Jennifer Walshe is magnetized by this planet and transfers its energy into an open concert piece that will eventually grow into a grand opera.
Concert piece based on a libretto by Mark O'Connell for two singers, Ensemble, live electronics, video and robot (EA).
The concert from our PRO©ESSION series takes place at two starting times: 6.00 pm + 8.30 pm. 20.30 hrs.
Between the concerts - FERMATE
The astrophysicist Franz Kerschbaum will be a guest at Fermate to talk to the Irish author and journalist Mark O'Connell and composer Jennifer Walshe to question what they have just heard.
Commissioned by Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, Klangforum Wien and Irish National Opera.
