Bear v. Shark

A musical excess

Because we wanted  to be healed. 

(and entertained)

Musictheatre (2012, Alba Theaterhuis, Korzo, Kameroperahuis)

A philosophical satire on the impact of mass media on our human lifes.

Through an overload of scenes, soundbytes, obscure choreographies and pseudo-scientific reflections, we follow Mr. Norman on his way to the Darwindome in Las Vegas where the big fight will take place: Bear v Shark! 

 

Bear v Shark is inspired by Chris Bachelder's book of the same name and features new compositions for percussion, cello and voice (samples).
