‘Of The Body’ marries a major new song cycle by Dan Walker with some of the most rabelaisian examples of Renaissance repertoire.
Drawing on Buxtehude’s masterpiece ‘Membra Jesu Nostri’, each movement of Walker’s ‘Of the Body’ is devoted to an anatomical part: the eyes, the hands, the mouth, the feet, the blood, and finally, the heart.
A musical dissection of sorts ‘Of the Body’ traverses sex, sensuality, the senses and morel exploring what it means to be embodied in a digital age, the relationship to corporeal form; flesh and blood.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
