Choreography Hannah Schneider Artistic Direction Carol J Jones Music Four Eyes Production Production Brandon Lawrence, Jacob Bryan Dancers Oxford Alternative Orchestra Orchestra Digital Premiere tba 2021 Butterfly pupae have been recorded as making sounds since 1875. These twitter sounds, previously called ‘hissing’ or ‘protest sounds’, are evidence of butterfly pupae shifting inside the chrysalis as it outgrows its casing. Based on translations of three twitter sounds from inside butterfly pupae, chrysalis explores the transformation from pupae to butterfly. Opening with a ghostly series of harmonics, the solo violin breaks through with short, sharp pulses before soar into the distance. |
