Alice Purton / Newton Armstrong / Natacha Diels

No Longer Available

Alice Purton and Newton Armstrong present a set of music for cello and voice, both live and multiplied through loudspeakers. Recent works by Purton and Armstrong are featured alongside arrangements of 14th century polyphonic compositions by Anthonello de Caserta.

Natacha Diels presents her work ‘Somewhere Beautiful’ for solo performer and four assistants — a journey into a strange landscape occupied by sounds and image that are at once familiar and unknown, reassuring and unsettling. Divided into three acts — a brief overview of life-to-death (Somewhere Beautiful), an unravelling of cohesion through incessant rigour (Untitled Art Piece), and a directionless journey to a long golden road (The God-Fearing Woodsman).
