TORCH – Passages
Passages is a multimedia event featuring an animated film projected on stage by the artist Scott Kolbo, and a live performance of composed music by the chamber quartet TORCH. The work comments on contemporary anxieties about security and immigration through six circular loops of imagery and sound, with a heavy emphasis on slapstick humor and absurdity. The piece also tells an inspiring story about resilience and hope in the face of historical tragedy and ecological crisis.
