AMERICAN PREMIÈRE Directed and Choreographed by Yannis Adoniou
Presented by: West Edge Opera in collaboration with KUNST-STOFF Dance Company and sfSound.
Paul Gauguin. His life, his community, his struggles as an artist, taken from Paris to exotic Tahiti. Gauguin's own words are used as libretto with Carlone's beautiful music that evokes Debussy. Gauguin exists in a world of art where he communicates with his own inner voice, sung by soprano Shawnette Sulker.
Sung in French with English supertitles. Yannis Adoniou, Artistic Director of the KUNST-STOFF Contemporary Dance Company, will collaborate with Mark Streshinsky to tell Gauguin's story through movement set in an immersive projected world of Gauguin's art created by Jeremy Knight. Mary Chun conducts the musicians of sfSound.
Parental notice: This show is rated PG-13 for partial nudity during the scenes set in Tahiti.
