PAWN – Interactive Concert-Performance

Program

Pawn is a 50-minute interactive concert-performance that borrows the symbolism of chess and turns it into a living reflection on global unrest and wars. Through the interplay of music, sound, and movement, three musicians, on cello, piano, and bass clarinet, are joined by three performers who embody the cycle of the never-ending game.

The live acoustic instruments offer dialogue with the recorded music, layered with an electro-acoustic soundscape composed from archival documentary sounds from the affected regions.

PAWN is an invitation to witness, to feel, to question, and perhaps, to remember our own role in systems of power. Movement, presence, and perception follow where the music leads. Within this soundscape, each person is asked to listen not only to the world, but to themselves.
