Marta Górnicka:
Magnificat
‘Magnificat’ features a choir of 25 women ranging from 23 to 75, who concentrate their communal strength on stage to find their own voice and make it heard. Conducted live on stage by Marta Górnicka, whose extraordinary choral works have made her a star of the international theatre and performance scene, the choir share biographical fragments, whisper quotes from newspapers and recipe books, and bellow texts from Jelenik and Euripedes, while sacred music accompanies their rhythmic speech. From this, a choreography of rebellion emerges, in an aesthetically radical evening of both poetic and political power that showcases the power of the human voice.
