A long-held dream of the reed quintet Calefax comes to fruition: a collaboration with artist and inventor Theo Jansen. Known for his Strandbeasts, impressive creatures made from PVC pipes that move autonomously in the wind. Composer Ned McGowan has written new music specifically for this project. Join us on a musical journey through a Natural History Museum of Strandbeasts.
Theo Jansen’s Strandbeasts were born from his desire to create an autonomous life form. The next step in their evolution: making music. Jansen and the reed players from Calefax invite you on an expedition among these impressive creatures. Can Calefax’s musical input propel the Strandbeasts into the next phase of their development?
