Twilight
Lichtbende and the Dutch Vocal Theatre
2018 – 70 min.
Weerlicht intertwines classical and contemporary choir pieces, with the music of Meredith Monk as a basis. A polyphonic and visual surprise with lively projections by Lichtbende. Weerlicht takes you to a quiet world where the idyll is disturbed by a disruptive event. Movement and song in a total staging of visual poetry.
