Peak FreQuency Presents: Re-assembled and Embodied - Flute Music by Women in Parallel Empires

Saturday, May 22, 2021 
Virtual Video Premiere - 6:00pm

Créatrices/flûtistes Tessa Brinckman and Associate Professor Dr. Jane Rigler  

Join Jane Rigler and Tessa Brinckman on an interstellar voyage towards May 22, 2021*. We’ll transport you to places we have always been: into the aquatics of our cells, nerves and bones— as we journey to the constellation of our stars, and dive into the work of Cecile Chaminade. Experience a live/recorded processing of flutes, and other objects, visual and trans-sonic hallucinations. It’s us, it’s her, it’s you, re-imagined. 

This duodramatic performance-installation (funded by the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs Faculty Assembly Women’s Committee grant 2020-21) reassembles and reclaims a piece from the past (Sérénade aux étoiles by Cecile Chaminade) to address current cultural/economic crises of extraction vs. relationship, and our bonds to “empire.” What does it mean to serenade to, and not extract from, the stars?
