Falling is an intimate performance co-created by American soprano Maribeth Diggle, and Argentinian/Dutch composer Ezequiel Menalled.
Inspired by the “Slow Movement” and the need to repossess our time and inner tempo in an ever more vertiginous world, performances will combine elements of text and mood in an intimate presentation format. With echoes of a modernised Liederabend and a wish to create a bridge into today’s world, Falling will attract us to the details while we keep moving forward.
