Philadelphia Museum Of Art

"Chess Music for the Moving Image: The Queen Stripped Bare By Her Pawns, Even" is an interactive multimedia performance of chance at the PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART in the spirit of composer John Cage and dance choreographer Merce Cunningham performed by MORRICONE YOUTH, a New York City collective dedicated to the music of film and other visual medias. Audience members will be invited to participate in a game of chess that determines the musical progression of reinterpreted iconic French soundtracks interwoven with dance performances based on the movements of the chess pieces. The performance is inspired by Marcel Duchamp's painted works leading up to and including The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even (1915-1923)

Myself and Morricone Youth will be on from 5pm - 8pm. Looking forward to it immensely!
