In Waves

Class
$75000

We were inspired by the text from a popular TV show that relates the mortal experience of human beings to the ebb and flow of ocean waves. They come to be, exist in the ocean for a while, crash into the shore, return to the ocean... then they're gone. The waves that the water becomes are just a way for the water to be, for a little while. Using the beautiful sound of a featured flute performer as a sultry throughline, this show is sure to take your audience on an emotionally deep journey, and provide your staff and performers with a great vehicle for exploring more complex themes with loads of musical nuance.
