Two people in an art museum argue over the validity of a work that questions the very meaning of meaning. One is accepting if detached, the other is troubled but engaged. Visitors come and go, choosing their journeys, inviting us into surreal scenes of love, loss, alienation, attraction, and wonder.Theatre of Music (a.k.a. The Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble) has joined forces with composer Steven Bryant to create an immersive, multi-disciplinary work inspired by Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte. Challenging accepted notions of reality, Magritte has shown us time and again that the eye may well lie to us… But what of our ears? Should we trust them? The Treachery of Sounds explores the porous and transient nature of reflection.
