Kaleider (UK): Arch

Where concrete meets ice, visceral tension unfolds. Seth Honnor’s visionary direction brings Kaleider’s most ambitious work yet to breathtaking life. Witness the very real, live endeavor of performers building a gravity-defying, freestanding arch — two-thirds unforgiving concrete, one-third melting ice. An exquisite combination of breath, heart, and muscle entangle with the perpetual inevitability of collapse to draw the audience into a compelling emotional journey. In what could be described as a kind of “installation opera,” a languageless score by Verity Standen holds and moves us through a relentlessly physical performance; at times meditative, and at others arresting and highly charged.
