Michelangelo Drawing Blood
Inspired by Michelangelo's sketchbooks, sonnets and figure studies, this integrated work of music, physical theatre, film and photography uses as a starting point Michelangelo's own concept of "releasing" a sculpture, and explores the process of creativity and creation, revealing some of the artist's most beautiful works.
Scored for period ensemble, the music explores compositional forms and processes employed by Renaissance musicians, uniting these with modern compositional procedures.
Employing two male performers, the choreography draws on and reflects figure studies from Michelangelo's sketches made in preparation for the fresco 'The Battle of Cascina'.

"This extraordinary piece of music theatre, created by Sound Affairs, is almost in the nature of a seance, a hypnotic blend of music, dance and theatrical staging which uses cleverly arranged light structures in a compelling way" - Richard Edmonds - Birmingham Post
