Live Multimedia Performance
Searchlights pierce the sky over a post-9/11 NYC skyline. Video images from the Arctic appear on a large projection. Lights come up on four kayakers, who perform a series of synchronized movements to the strains of a waltz. The deafening sound of a train crossing the Manhattan Bridge sends the drummer, violinist, cellist, and vocalist into a frenzied performance as the ballet of the kayaks becomes a battle of spins and speed.
