Bear v. Shark
A musical excess
Because we wanted to be healed.
(and entertained)
Musictheatre (2012, Alba Theaterhuis, Korzo, Kameroperahuis)
A philosophical satire on the impact of mass media on our human lifes.
Through an overload of scenes, soundbytes, obscure choreographies and pseudo-scientific reflections, we follow Mr. Norman on his way to the Darwindome in Las Vegas where the big fight will take place: Bear v Shark!
Bear v Shark is inspired by Chris Bachelder's book of the same name and features new compositions for percussion, cello and voice (samples).
