A study in failing…

A group of 10 actors on wind instruments and percussion, with little or no experience in playing music, have collaborated over a period of 5 years with professional conductors to interpret well-known classical works such as. Carmen and Bolero. Here, of course, a discrepancy arises between what the ear expects to hear and how it sounds. It becomes a persistence in failing, which opens up a naked being and vulnerability, of great value for the actor’s work on stage; akin to the work with the classical clown.
