Celetná

Instrumentation: piano and field recording
Length: 3'30

Composer: Chrysanthe Tan
Choreographer: Dina Lasso

Description: Choreographer Dina Lasso and I conceived of this piece in collaboration. We wanted to explore breaking of the fourth wall with a mixture of diagetic vs. nondiagetic music and choreographed vs. spontaneous movement across the stage. In this run, we gathered a dozen of random friends and other people to crowd the stage at the end with no prior knowledge of what the piece was about, as if they were passersby on the street. The music incorporates field recordings from a folk festival in Prague.
