Alessandro Sciarroni: U. (un canto)

“An unmissable work. … Sciarroni’s vision, as always, is one step ahead, calling us to follow, to explore, and to be surprised.” —Dance Art Journal

In a hypnotic exploration of voice, rhythm, and human connection, cross-disciplinary artist Alessandro Sciarroni transforms the typical choral experience into something between concert and rite. For this exclusive US performance of U. (un canto), seven brilliant vocalists enliven a range of Italian choral songs from the past 70 years. The a cappella ensemble creates ancient polyphonic harmonies that move in purposeful juxtaposition to Sciarroni’s exactingly static choreography. The result is an immersive sonic ceremony that echoes long after the performance ends.
