THE HEATH: Part One

Mocrep presents the first iteration of a new full-scale work by Chicago-based composer Sam Scranton, THE HEALTH. Come see this work in progress and share our space with us! Reception and talkback afterwards.

About THE HEALTH:
In the past 80 years, notions of what constitutes human health have changed dramatically. Prior to this redefinition, "heath" consisted of the absence of sickness or impairment. More recently, health has become an ambient phenomenona lifestyle, culture, a religion, and ecology. This new vision began in the late 1940s with the World Health Organization and continues to operate today through Whole Foods, athleisure brands, and supplement providers. The Health explores this concept in its contemporary richness using the language of diagnostic tests, sound therapeutic instruments, and hold music.
