The Funerals

The Funerals
2012

In the context of the festival Genoteerd!, PARTS & GAME were invited by Concertgebouw Brugge to create a new work that started from musical scores that use non-traditional forms of notation. Directed by choreographer Andros Zins-Browne and Ictus musician Tom Pauwels, 10 dancers of PARTS and six musicians of GAME (Ghent Advanced Master Ensemble, a post-master program in contemporary music coached by the Ictus & Spectra ensemble) dove into scores by Francisco Filidei and Mauro Lanza and ended with a new choreographic-musical score for self-made instruments, The Funerals. They created instruments from found objects and developed a musical and perforative practice for these instruments, searching for a common ground between movement, gestures, objects and sound.

Following this new creation, we composed a full-evening program, with also performances of compositions by Francisco Filidei and François Sarhan by GAME, and a duet of two PARTS students who take another perspective on the relation between movement and sound.

Premiere: Concertgebouw Bruges, Thursday 27/2 at 20h. Tickets and information
A second show will be in Bozar in Brussels, Wednesday 5/3 at 20h. Tickets and information
