The rite of spring
The National Young Orchestra of Colombia is a group of talented young musicians which aims, together with the internationally renown director Andrés Orozco Estrada, to approach classical music with loads of energy, juvenile aesthetics and a touch of innovative thinking -for classical music standards-. For the launch of “the Rite of Spring” (Igor Stravinsky), the director of the Project contacted me to produce a set of visual supports for the live concert.
With a huge resolution and a low Budget, the visuals support crucial moments or loop as abstract scenography. The director asked for very discrete, abstract animations. based on the original scenography paintings by Nicholas Roehrich. With just a couple of action-moments, this turned into a very light and painting-like set of visuals.
The orchestra will be on summer tour, and playing this show around Europe in 2017-2019.
