The conjunction of the lyrical voice, the bandoneon, and the strings finds the propitious and ironic color for this rare ritual designed for a dramaturgy with tango reminiscences.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Originally conceived to be performed with a certain irony on Valentine's Day, this original work for voice, bandoneon, and string quartet, deals with the dark feelings that an unrequited love could awaken in any of us. This sense of spite seeks to convert the thoughts towards the one that hurts us into daggers towards the perpetrator. However, far from achieving this objective, these daggers become wounds for the scorned soul, which thus consumes itself in its own ardor. A final moment of awareness about this contradiction saves the grieving spirit in a brief chord of peace.
In collaboration with National Sawdust and New York City Opera.
