WITH OPENING SET BY SINONÓ

TAK presents an intensified exploration of collectivism, virtuosic intimacy, and multimodal performance practices in the newest iteration of their years-long collaboration with composer, Eric Wubbels.

interbeing ii, numbered for each iteration of the long-form work, will consist of eight movements of chamber music, quasi-theatrical ritual, and Cartouches—a series of performed bodily sculptures based on listening and responding to other performers’ innate physical systems of breath and heartbeat.

Reconfiguring the performance space into an expansive home, TAK will weave the different movements into a roaming multisensorial evening, complete with teas and foods foraged from Wubbels’ home in western Massachusetts. With an attention to interconnectivity, each layer of the work explores the implications of a socially-oriented music, as the ensemble shapeshifts between playing as a giant compound organism with highly virtuosic individual lines that clash and collide, and inhabiting trance-like states of collective sonic ritual and hypnotic reverence.
