Award-winning Cuban musician Alejandro Vargas + Galician award-winning writer and performer Xelís de Toro will be working together in residence here for one week with a work-in-progress show at the end.
They will use sound, sound poetry and movement to explore an iconic and enigmatic Galician poetry book published in 1920s which they describe as ‘fells like meditation during a trip out to sea’. They have meticulously converted all the letters of the poems into numbers and then the numbers into musical notes. They will use these as starting points and throw a dice, using chance results to create new work. They will create their own acrobatic journey, crisscrossing arts to weave a tapestry of sounds (piano, synth, percussion), vocals (sounds and words) and movement.
