the little match girl passion Workshop Performance
the little match girl passion
We invite you to our first public showing of this exquisite new work-in-progress, inspired by David Lang’s composition for four singers and percussion, in which the classic Hans Christian Andersen story of The Little Match Girl is paired with texts from Bach’s St. Matthew Passion.
To Figures of Speech Theatre’s signature weave of actors and puppets, filmmaker Derek Kimball adds video imagery of dreamlike beauty. The resulting work is a visionary fusion of astonishing music and visual poetry, powered by mystery and metaphor.
