Uri Agnon: MARCH
Survey and interrogate the many forms of protest in this powerful, joyful performance written by Uri Agnon.
MARCH is a powerful and joyful exploration of the rhythms, dynamics, and emotions of political marching, blending monologue, mass protest and an absurdist game show.
Commissioned by Contemporary Music for All (CoMA) and written by composer and theatre-maker Uri Agnon, MARCH brings together local professional and amateur music-makers, director-conductor Matthew Hardy and narrator Elisabeth Gunawan to interrogate the concepts of protest together.
Part of New Music Biennial, this event includes two performances of the same work and a short interview with the creative team in between the two, enabling audiences to experience the second performance with greater insight into the creative process.
