A "promenade" quasi-installation type performance with words and music at St John's Co-Cathedral.We invite the audience to experience the splendour of St John's Co-Cathedral in a way they have never done before. This evening has been curated around that most harrowing yet poignant time in the Christian Liturgy through the music and art that has been created over centuries to reflect this. The glorious marbled floor of the cathedral will be exposed, revealing the Latin epitaphs inscribed on the tombstones, the symbolism and metaphors for death and afterlife, the elaborate coats of arms. We enter to the sound of the king of instruments with Haydn's Terremoto (Earthquake) and are led through one experience after the other, encapsulating the different emotions of the last moments of the Passion of Christ on the cross. There will be moments of tenderness, moments of angst, moments of transcendental beauty and moments of surprise. All senses will be engaged in this unique promenade, immersive and interactive experience, in our most magnificent cathedral - scents, lights, movement, sound, words, imagery - entwined with tradition and restrained, but noble, spectacle.
Music will include excerpts from Haydn's Seven Last Words, Mozart's Requiem, Gounod's Les Sept Paroles de Notre Seigneur Jésus Christ sur la crois, Verdi's Requiem, new works inspired by the visionary and mystic, Hildegard von Bingen, Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings and Albinoni's Stabat Mater.
