chrysalis (2021)
|
Choreography: Ruth Brill
Artistic Direction: Hannah Schneider Music: Carol J Jones Production: Four Eyes Production Dancers: Brandon Lawrence Orchestra: Oxford Alternative Orchestra Digital Premiere May 8th 2020 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. |
