Duet for One

This event is part of MOSSO: music in motion

Incorporating live music performance, film, projections, ritual theatre, sculpture and sound design, this time-and-space-bending ‘live cinematic concert’ explores changing emotions, sometimes sad, sometimes surreal or exhilarating, around the vexed question of our modern-day relationship with the Australian natural landscape… What is this ‘estranged’ relationship? What is holding us back? What happens if we just go out there?

Duet for One is a collaboration between virtuoso pianist Sonya Lifschitz, composer/media artist Damian Barbeler and pioneering interactive media artist Tim Gruchy. The show centres around the theatrical device of Sonya performing live in ‘duet’ with projected footage of herself playing in various far flung locations the Australian bush on a ‘Portative Klavier’, a portable keyboard designed and constructed by Barbeler.

Duet for One is a fitting, immersive expression of the three artists shared long-term passion for pushing the boundaries of live music presentation to more fully explore our extraordinary natural world.
