BAHAYA (danger)
Up next: BAYAHA is a new multimodal opera composed by Richard Marriott and written by Ruth Margraff, with a concept inspired by composer I Made Subandi born in Batuyang, Indonesia who passed away suddenly last year.
BAHAYA is devised from folk tales with a story of two sisters who have drifted apart as glaciers melt, one to the South and one to the North. They command a Wayfarer to make his way across seven seas with an ancient, stolen comb, and to descend to the polluted ocean floor on a quest for purification.
BAHAYA will be performed by Gamelan Sekar Jaya musicians Carla Fabrizio and Sarah Willner, Club Foot Orchestra musicians Beth Custer and Chris Grady, and Russian Telegraph bandleader David James. Vocals by Emiko Susilo and Federico Cusigch. Experimental video by Clemencia Macias, Bob Pacelli & Liz Walsh. Video editing by Steve Mobia.
