U.S. Premiere
SOS (The Song of Songs) is a staged cantata created by Russian visual and performance artist Vera Martynov in collaboration with composer Alexey Sysoev, choreographer Nikita Chumakov, and featuring Moscow’s acclaimed Intrada vocal ensemble. Investigating experiences of personal and global tragedy, SOS references the worldwide standard Morse code signal of distress, and draws from the poetic Old Testament text, Solomon’s Song of Songs.
SOS is made possible with generous support provided by M.ART Foundation.
Major support for BAC’s presentation of SOS is provided by Trust for Mutual Understanding.
