This project was made as a part of the Student Artist in Residence program of the Movement Lab in the Milstein Center of Barnard College.

Acqua Alta is an interdisciplinary experimental performance art piece that wades through the waters of Venice, Italy, featuring a cast of eight student performers. Acqua Alta uses live ballet and contemporary dance, with live cello, opera in Italian and English, and spoken word accompaniment, as well as film, text, and visual arts, to bring contingent narrative vignettes into a labyrinth flow. Venice's waters suffuse and lull as a linguistic, corporeal, and reflective motif: mortal and eternal, void and full, mundane and sacred, beautiful and putrid. Desire is mechanized as the decadent pain of acceptance -- surrounded by undrinkable water, yet still finding solace and nourishment in the grandiosity of the everyday. Intimate and oceanic, Acqua Alta winds through Venetian canals, provokingly juxtaposed forms, emotions, and experiments of truth.

Acqua Alta OST - Raphael I

Composer: Kenichi Ikuno Sekiguchi
Performers: Atlys String Quartet

The theme for these variations has an ancient origin: it is the oldest complete composition that has survived to our day. This music was etched on an ancient Greek memorial tablet and was meant to be sung. The text goes as follows:

While you live, shine
have no grief at all
life exists only for a short while
and Time demands his due.

These variations try to evoke a snapshot of different parts of life: happy, melancholic, and exuberant.
