The Music is a highlight of the show
“Woven together with a thread of vocal gold, this unusual show features an outstanding mix of live and recorded sound integrating a contemporary, experimental use of voice with the recorded riches of Sean James Donnelly and others. Mixed in the moment, the score of Birds of Paradise has an unusual sonic dimensionality, with its layered, collaborative quality reflective of the personality and choreographic intellect behind the work.”
