NIGHT | 2005
- ongoing
For voice, soprano saxophone, viola, live
video projection, live treatment of prerecorded sound and performance
projection set with MIDI controllers and movement. Developed
at the OBRAS Artist in Residence Program, Evoramonte,
Portugal (Feb - May 2004).
NIGHT is a collaborative multimedia
performance piece by composers/performance artists Chris Jonas
and Molly Sturges. Through live music, sound, video and movement,
NIGHT explores the many realms of darkness: the natural beauty
of night, the duality of the inside in the light versus the outside
in the dark, fear of the unknown, and the psychological, biological
and cross-cultural worlds of night. Night is also a metaphor for
today's fear-based climate in The United States. Here the darkness
of night highlights precarious notions of security, personal, cultural
and national identity, and the fear of the other side.
Performed by:
Molly Sturges - composition, voice, electronics and movement
