In The Ivory, its stage director Alexey Veiro is developing the theme of “people who are different” which he began in The Ebony. The Ebony characters are different because of their skin color, while The Ivory characters are outcasts for other reasons (the performance’s working title and the main topic are Feast, Time, Plague). The main idea of the production is one’s aspiration for something perfect and beautiful, in contrast to the mundanity outside the theatre, which is equivalent to death.
The performance will feature Renaissance secular music: chamber vocal miniatures by Orlando di Lasso, Adriano Banchieri, Pierre Passereau, Thomas Morley, Pierre Certon, Josquin des Prez, Juan del Encina, and John Farmer.
Press
The production of The Ivory is a sophisticated mix of seemingly incompatible elements: basic instincts and the soaring soul, a huge action and chamber vocal, a cappella singing and a persistent feeling of a big orchestra’s play. And one question remains at the end: which world was that? This or the other?
