John Zorn's Shir Ha-Shirim & Khmer Arts Ensemble Dance
Sun and Mon, Nov 23 and 24, 7:30 p.m.
Scored for five female voices and two narrators, Shir Ha-Shirim is John Zorn’s lush and sensitive musical setting of the Song of Songs, which is Solomon's—perhaps the world’s first erotic verse. This romantic and lyrical project evokes feelings of love, eroticism, and spirituality and features a specially commissioned dance, suffused with the exquisite and intricate gestural vocabulary of Cambodian classicism, by pioneering choreographer Sophiline Cheam Shapiro for her Phnom Penh-based Khmer Arts Ensemble.
