A Book of Hours: Rubiks Collective (MEL)
About
A Book of Hours is a revelatory screen-dance presentation that features stop-motion film, together with on-stage and filmed choreography. The live classical contemporary soundtrack is performed by the Melbourne-based Rubiks Collective, Australia’s most dynamic and vibrant new music ensemble. The stop-motion video works are created by visual artist Sal Cooper and choreographer Gerard Van Dyck. Inspired by the mysteries of time and different ideas of how we spend our days, A Book of Hours combines stop-motion filmed humans and animation on screen, choreographed musicians and wind-up toys on stage representing the embodied vulnerability of the human form. Taking the medieval Book of Hours as the central concept of the work, composer Kate Neal references early Baroque influences (Couperin, Rameau) to reimagine the early canonical divisions of time.“Call it dance or art music or just live performance. Whatever it is – A Book of Hours is the best kind of puzzle.” – The Age
