sound festival: Deconstructing Pierrot

Red Note Ensemble with Laura Bowler (voice) & Matthew Swan (electronics)

A musical demolition and a dramaturgical interrogation, Laura Bowler’s Deconstructing Pierrot takes Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire and looks at the work through a contemporary queer lens. A new interpretation of Albert Giraud’s poems that repurposes musical material from Schoenberg’s work in a subversive act of defiance of the great master.

Co-commissioned by Red Note Ensemble, Music on Main and Ensemble Offspring
