Three string quartets form the musical and dramatic spine of this red-hot fusion of extreme acrobatics and lyrical movement, choreographed with exquisite timing and detail. While circus artists balance, tumble, spin and fly in astonishing explosions of graceful physicality, four musicians – sometimes blindfolded, sometimes weaving through the moving mass of acrobats – play from memory, music filled with passion, and intensity.
Opus explores the complex relationship between the individual and the group, the tragic and the comic; its mix of risk and athleticism a flawless match for some of the most beautiful chamber music ever written.
