Description

Lace up your skates—or take a seat in the stands—for a truly unique kinetic and sonic experience! Set at the heart of the ice rink, the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève performs, with dazzling virtuosity, a selection of minimalist and repetitive music. Built from looping sound patterns, these cyclical motifs draw you into a mesmerizing, hypnotic whirl. The tempo of this exhilarating score is also driven by Canadian dancer and figure skater Stephen Thompson, whose choreographic momentum is in constant motion. Armed with modular synths and homemade machines, musician YMNK steps into the circle to inject a fiercely danceable electronic edge. Going round in circles has never felt so exhilarating!
