Re-igniting a 29 year collaboration with Ensemble Intercontemporain,
Synergy Vocals returns to Paris for a new production featuring
Steve Reich's Drumming in celebration
of Reich's 90th birthday at the Théâtre du Châtelet.
Since its première in 1971, Reich's iconic Drumming has inspired
choreographers from all over the world, from Laura Dean in the 1970s
to Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker in the 1990s, with whom Synergy Vocals had the privilege
of performing Drumming Live over many, many years.
We are now thrilled to be a part of this new theatrical realisation
by FC Bergman, Point Nemo.
"Adapted, shaped and dictated by the music, the stage installation
gradually becomes the main character of the performance.
Point Nemo is a wandering through fragments of the inhabited world.
At once a sonic sensory and physical experience,
the production is a metaphor for existence, or an ode to letting go".
Technically challenging, the central set changes along the piece,
and its transformations mark the division of the show
into 4 parts – as in the music.
A musical abstraction exploring human existence,
this promises to be a fascinating new way of experiencing
Steve Reich's hypnotic masterpiece!

“Micaela Haslam is the great singer who runs Synergy Vocals.
She has coached groups before I get there (when I’m sitting in), and she’s coached
groups when I’m not involved at all. You would do well to invite her to work with you.
She will clarify everything about the piece.”
