Works from Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Max Richter, Philip Glass, and New work from Meriç Artaç.

 

The Doelen Ensemble and the International Dance Theater bring Edward Hopper's paintings to life with Max Richter, Meriç Artaç, Philip Glass, and Neel Verdoorn's choreography. A fascinating musical and danceable journey through the work of one of the most groundbreaking artists of the last century.

After the production of 'Silent Songs' in the 2015/16 season, the Doelen Ensemble and the International Dance Theater will now make a presentation about the work of the realistic painter Edward Hopper. A story about 'time'. Each painting has a story before it stopped, and seems to go further after the 'photo moment'. But what then? What was there, what happened after that? Time seems stretched. Hopper's paintings were a resistance to modern alienation.
