ARCHITECTURE + SCENOGRAPHY
In the moment the universe was created the elements collide. Fire, water, earth and air mingle in an explosive tension between light and darkness. The Canadian Robert Binet has chosen three pieces by Nico Muhly as his inspiration for “New World”. The New York-based composer has already worked together with Björk and Philip Glass while simultaneously establishing himself on the music scene in his own right. The atmospheric landscapes evoked by his compositions “Four Studies”, “Honest Music” and “Quiet Music” furnish Robert Binet with the basis for a piece that fuses the extraordinary story of the creation of the universe with contemporary reality. Robert Binet is one of the most promising emerging talents of his generation. He was Choreographic Apprentice at Royal Ballet in London for 2012/13 and his currently work includes the post of Choreographic Associate at the National Ballet of Canada.
