VSPRS Show and Tell (NR)

synopsis

Trailblazing Belgian choreographer Alain Platel and iconoclastic filmmaker Sophie Fiennes (A Pervert's Guide to Cinema) provide a contemporary interpretation of Monteverdi's "Maria Vespers," one of the major works of European religious music, through virtuoso soloists and ensembles creating their own amazing new movement language. The result was described by one critic as "the weirdest, most shocking and provocative performance you will ever see."
