Entwined: A Double Feature

Manuel de Falla / Derek Goldman / Federico García Lorca — Entwined: Love's Magicians (world premiere)
Manuel de Falla — El retablo de maese Pedro

PostClassical Ensemble celebrates the 100 year anniversary of a seminal opera, a life-long creative friendship, and an artistically explosive era in Spanish history. This performance features the world premiere of Derek Goldman's new performance piece about the friendship between poet Federico García Lorca and Manuel de Falla. In the second half of our double feature, PCE will perform de Falla's opera El retablo de maese Pedro ("Master Peter's Puppet Show"). In this collaboration with visual artist Kevork Mourad, puppets are replaced by animation synced with the score performed by PostClassical Ensemble. This performance is in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Manuel de Falla's seminal chamber opera.
