MPAC invites you to a creative work in development presentation of Cave Song on Friday 21 February at 1.30pm-2.45pm in the David Li Sound Gallery.
Created by Karen Berger, Kate Neal and Anthony Lyons, who are recipients of an MPAC Progress Links creative development grant, which forges connections between artists and Monash researchers to generate new art.
Cave Song explores the ways caves, music-making and spirituality have richly interacted over the millennia. For most cultures, music’s ability to express the inexpressible has made it the perfect bridge between matter and spirit. Caves, too, have been seen as places for spiritual development, separate from the everyday world, and playing music or singing inside them can provide an expansive feeling of acoustic luminosity. Using the extraordinary capabilities of the Meyer Active Acoustic Constellation sound system, we transport our audience across time and space, touching on questions about the mysteries of who we truly are.
A half hour performance (approx) will be followed by an informal Q&A with wine and nibbles.
We would love you to join us!
