before and after nature
David Lang, Tal Rosner, Florian Helgath, Bang on a Can All-Stars, Chorwerk Ruhr
German Premiere
A new understanding of nature in Sound.
“Mother Nature” is dead. Human beings have irrevocably changed nature. David Lang, one of the world’s most successful avant-garde composers, has been inspired by classics of environmental literature in his latest work. Tal Rosner creates video projections especially for before and after nature, which show nostalgic Images and at the same time open up new perspectives. With this concert Chorwerk Ruhr celebrates its 25th anniversary with the New York instrumental Ensemble Bang on a Can All-Stars.
A Chorwerk Ruhr production for Ruhrtriennale.
