‘Interdisciplinary’ is the more than apt code word for this part of the programme. In the studio of iii, composer-in-residence Myrto Nizami presents her most recent study for the music-theatre piece she is working on during her two-year residency in The Hague. The performance is a collaboration with sound technician Siavash Jafari and visual artist Luca Tornato Serafini, who are both highly experienced in interdisciplinary performances. They use light, video and spatialisation to add relief to the themes of identity and mask-wearing. Myrto’s on-stage team consists of the versatile singer Kristia Michael and members of Ensemble Modelo62.
In addition, the programme includes work by artists who are part of the collective iii, a platform for interdisciplinary art, technology and performance in The Hague, which focusses on a collaborative approach. The name stands for ‘instrument inventors initiative’.
