A composition for three cranes, large ensemble and a giant butterfly!
Our brand-new in-house artist Nadar Ensemble surprises us with a composition for three cranes, large ensemble and a giant butterfly. Papillon and the Dancing Cranesby the American composer Natacha Diels is a repetitive and danceable composition. Her whole life, Diels has been fascinated by construction cranes. Despite their simple shape, they are gracious and form a decorative element in a city’s skyline. In Diels’ world, they are revealed as living characters. They execute a choreography in counterpoint to the music. The hoisting of heavy loads makes way for the unfolding of a butterfly. This symbolic butterfly is made of recycled material by STORMKOP, a (free)port for young adventurers in Antwerp. A unique, surprising event for young and old alike!
