“A cascade of pure dance invention.” – Guardian (U.K.) on Gelabert
“Adventurous, intelligent pianist.” – Threepenny Review on Muzijevic
A quietly thrilling meditation on music, light, and movement unfolds within the hushed, meditative sound world of Morton Feldman’s 1981 solo piano piece Triadic Memories. Vividly rendered by pianist Pedja Muzijevic, the shifting colors and elastic tempos of Feldman’s painterly music are transformed into movement with “corporeal magic” (Guardian, U.K.) by choreographer and dancer Cesc Gelabert, and merged with an intricate color and light interplay by designer Burke Brown.
