In February LPC premiered A to Zzz at
Vooruit in Gent,
an hour-long work for five performers featuring physical action, music, text and light design.
Here is the video trailer.
ABOUT THE WORK
The title announces the concept: A to Zzz moves through the alphabet, with each letter representing something. That something might be a person (F = Freddy Mercury), a topic (P = positions in space) or concept (O = outside). The passage through the alphabet provides a scaffold, a solid reference point, for an otherwise unpredictable journey full of constant surprise, imagination, digressions and ruptures!
The work draws on a broad and unexpected range of everyday, popular and art culture: the movement of modern dance, orchestral conductors, cinematic monsters, and everyday activities; the music/sound of abstract textures, field recordings and psychedelic rock; and the lighting of the office, street light and bedside lamp.
PERFORMED NEXT AT
STUK (Leuven) as part of the Transit festival in October 2012
