Vocalensemble NOVA, Beat Furrer

A contemporary performance piece by Beat Furrer (b. 1954) described by the composer as Music Theatre piece in 10 scenes, incorporating dancers, singers, orchestra and sound projection. This hugely imaginative staging was filmed at a live performance in 2003 and is presented for the first time on this DVD presentation. The film also includes an interview with Beat Furrer. “The 10 scenes show both figures, HE and SHE, in different stages of their development, in an intermediate area between memory and the search for one another – and at the same time the search for themselves.”

“Furrer's fusion of music and theatre captivates but the staging is predictable.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2009
