Siddhartha, She

A durational ritual across a vast expanse of enlightenment. movement that charts the slow ascent of singers, moving artists, and choirs from the forest to the river. Enacting a sustaining loop of breath, sculptural forms, and flocking pattern of birds that thwart perspective and seem to tilt our sense of the line between tint and sky, performer and community.

Siddhartha, She is American composer Christopher Theoganidis’ new opera, with a libretto by poet Melissa Studdard. Led by Maestro Robert Spano, music conductor laureate of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, with direction by visual artist Anne Patterson, and video projection by artist Adam Larsen.
