About The Event
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.
