Xara Choral Theatre: CONSTELLATIONS (SOLD OUT!!!!)
On January 31st and February 1st, Xara Choral Theatre (XCT) Ensemble will present a new work of choral theatre inspired by the origin of the stars.
Drawing from Greek mythology, Constellations re-imagines the mystery of how the stars aligned. This show will blur the boundaries of choral music and theatre by combining improvised song, text, and lighting to create a multi-sensory audience experience. Strokes of music and movement will be used to paint the sound of the heavens as experienced by navigators, travellers, and the stars themselves throughout time.
Featuring a dynamic lighting design by Matthew Downey that evokes the northern sky, the performance blends contemporary choral music by Scandinavian composers including Karin Rehnqvist and Pekka Kostiainen, as well as arrangements of songs by Finnish vocal ensemble Rajaton, and pop artists Lorde and Imogen Heap.
Constellations will be performed at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, 1675 Lower Water St., Halifax at 8:00 pm. Tickets are $20 adults and $10 students, and are now available online at www.xara.ca by phone at 902-300-9840, or at the door.
Xara Choral Theatre (XCT) provides an intensive artistic experience for young women and an innovative approach to choral performance that is reimagining the idea of the "choir". Led by Co-Artistic Directors, Christina Murray and Claire Leger, Xara's work is gaining national and international recognition as an emerging inter-arts genre featuring stories and myths told through a rich tapestry of challenging choral repertoire, movement, lighting, spoken word, and visual elements. In July 2013, Canada's national choral competition proclaimed Xara the top women's choir in the country.
