SELARYON // STAGE SEQUENCE

THE WORK

A closed world
of voices waiting.

Inspired by Maurice Maeterlinck’s play, The Blind creates a world waiting for someone who may never return.

Orchestra, electronics, spoken rhythm and song become a single dramatic organism. Every musical language serves character, tension and story.

A silver-robed performer sings amid low fog before a futuristic garden projection.
