| Music and Staging for Violet Fire | ||||||||
| Composer Jon Gibson's score for Violet Fire calls for six principal singers, chorus and chamber orchestra, in a one-act performance that runs about 90 minutes. Gibson's accessible and eclectic score features lyrical vocal lines floating over densely textured, groove-based sonic fields.
IViolet Fire's staging includes sets and costumes created by leading Serbian theater designer Boris Caksiran. Media designers Sarah Drury and Jen Simmons have created a visual through-line with video projections and live animation elements, and lighting designer Mary Louise Geiger will contribute a unified lighting concept. Choreographer Nina Winthrop has set movement on a single dancer who doubles with a singer to create the multidimensional persona of the White Dove. Director Terry O'Reilly brings his background in experimental theater to synthesizing all these elements, merging performers, music and imagery in a powerful and immersive experience. |
