«Tale of a Honeybee», created together with jazz composer and pianist Christoph Stiefel and light designer Fiona Zolg, develops the theme of intricate signaling by which bees communicate: small, controlled, expansive, large, precise, delicate, or bold movements, here set in a soundscape of gentle stirrings and strong emotion. Audiences will experience depictions, in space, light and sound, of essential patterns by which life perpetuates and thrives or meets obliteration.
