WHEN THE EARTH SINGS
\n\u2013 a fairy tale for actress, orchestra and audience<\/p>\n
Libretto by Kerstin Perski,
\ntranslated into English by Linda Schenck
\nduration ca 35 minutes<\/p>\n
Daphne is a young deer, watched over like all the other animals, by the goddess Artemis. Unlike the others, she longs to be daring and bold, to test her limits. And yet she is also little, anxious, and abandoned. This classical story arises out of the tensions between orchestra and narrator, child and adult, animal and human, bold and timid, as Daphne explores her destiny and discovers what it means to be a mortal girl.<\/p>\n
When The Earth Sings is conceived as a musical drama, which means the actress should be acting during the whole piece.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The audience is asked to join Daphne in a verse and a short song. As a suggestion, this should be rehearsed with the audience before the piece begins.<\/p>\n
