SHIKA: OUT OF THE SILENCE THE SOUND IS BORN is a solo performance. Violin, voice and choreography are intertwined in this innovative multidisciplinary event where the musician embodies different characters. Through sound and silence the artist draws the audience into a magical experience, challenging the classical concept of a concert performance. Parts of this performance have been previously presented at the Glenn Gould Studio, Toronto and broadcast by the CBC.
Cast and crew: Paulina Derbez, violin, voice and choreography; Diego Jacome, lighting design, projection, costume and stage production; Barbara Croall, sound design.
