Stillifes and Synergy

Overview

The heartbeat is the blueprint for the oldest musical instrument - the drum - and since its discovery percussion has returned the favour; new beats and rhythms contort our bodies into dancing blurs, and even now in the jaded generations there's still a strong cord linking us back to our most primitive, tribal foot-thumpers.

Fritz Hauser, the Swiss drummer par excellence, will reboot our souls with his solo piece Stillifes before reconnecting with his long-time collaborators, Sydney ensemble Synergy Percussion to present new work inspired by The Annunciation.

Taking place in the blessed belly of the Old Newington Chapel, Hauser and Synergy's alchemical marriage weaves a plethora of sensual elements, from poetic artworks and seraphic lights through to gut-rubbing bass rhythms and extraterrestrial electronica.

Definitely take this special opportunity to achieve enlightenment for one weekend.
