MIRROR|RORRIM

What did Alice find when she went down the rabbit hole? What did the Evil Queen see when she asked “Mirror, Mirror on the wall?” What will you discover in this journey through childhood stories, fantasy, and the dark depths of imagination? 

InfraSound presents Mirror | rorriM as an investigation of childhood fairytales and fantasy. This concert features the world premiere of Austin Philemon’s immersive electronic monodrama “Curiouser and Curiouser” based on Lewis Carroll’s well-known fairytale “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Familiar and foreign characters show themselves and attempt to guide Alice as she explores and discovers an electronic wonderland built by Philemon. Using motion tracking technology, the soundscape changes based on the actions and decisions of Alice, and that of Alice’s object of curiosity: The White Rabbit. This performance will also feature compositions by composers similarly fascinated by fairytales, including Unsuk Chin’s Advice from a Caterpillar, Susan Botti’s The Jabberwockey, Arvo Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel (Mirror in the Mirror), Yoshi Weinberg’s Some people are flowers, Xingzimin Pan’s Kaidan, and Kaija Saariaho’s From the Grammar of Dreams.
