LOVE BOMB

Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge

Something terrible is about to happen. To witness it by ear is to feel it truly and be changed. This performance revolves around Monteverdi's dramatic madrigal, the Lament of the Nymph (1638). Within a single room, several layers of reality are nested, and the descending tetrachord works as a form of hypnosis leading us through each fold, making the unbearable bearable. The weeping nymph, abandoned and stricken, sits at the centre, daring us to inhabit her halted, altered state.Claudio Monteverdi, Lamento della Ninfa; Heinrich Ignaz Biber, Passacaglia for solo violin; Henry Purcell, O SolitudeSoprano - Laura Newey, Maryam Giraud, Myriam Lowe, Rachel Segman; Violin - Stephane Crayton, Rachel Stroud; Continuo - Mika Hyman, Peter ElliottCurated by Anna Brownsted, Delia Casadei, Stephane Crayton, Rachel Stroud, Bettina VarwigDoors open 7.30pm.
