Down to Earth Festival presents
ARCH By Kaleider
AN INSTALLATION OPERA
A project of the CUNY Graduate Center Martin E. Segal Theatre in partnership with MasterVoices
Featuring the MasterVoices Chorus
Where concrete meets ice, visceral tension unfolds. Seth Honnor’s visionary direction brings Kaleider’s most ambitious work yet to breathtaking life. Kaleider’s ARCH is an attempt to build a freestanding arch, made two-thirds of concrete and one-third of ice, witnessed by a vigilant choir of human voices. Touching audiences with themes of death, renewal, and hope, ARCH points towards the extraordinary, yet flawed, systems humans create: language, economies, architectures, democracies – and, inevitably, to the impact of these systems on our ecosystem and ourselves. Kaleider’s ARCH event unfolds under the open skies, a thought-provoking performance accompanied by the watchful singers. A languageless score by Verity Standen accompanies a relentlessly physical performance, at times meditative, at others arresting and highly charged.
