Darwin: Endless Forms Most Beautiful
Darwin: Endless Forms Most Beautiful is a new multimedia work surrounding the life and ideas of Charles Darwin, his theory of evolution, and the conflict between science and belief.
The production, a collaboration between the departments of Theatre and Music, explores the notion of artificial intelligence and the mechanisms of evolution through experimental scenography featuring video, sound manipulation and visual projections.
Directed by Keith Turnbull, the production will feature the original music of Ralph Denzer (Special Individualized Program MA candidate) and text by Theatre graduate Ryan Hurl (BFA ’08), and was developed in conjunction with a student ensemble of seven singer/actors and six instrumentalists in a creative laboratory setting.
True to Darwinian theory, the piece itself will evolve over its four-day, five-show run.
Darwin: Endless Forms Most Beautiful will be performed at Concordia’s Oscar Peterson Concert Hall, 7141 Sherbrooke St. W.:
- February 17, 8 p.m.
