⭐ ON HOPE: A DIGITAL SONG CYCLE ANNOUNCED BY THE OTHER PALACE ⭐
MPTheatricals and The Other Palace are to present On Hope: A Digital Song Cycle, it has been announced.
Written by over 60 composers from around the world, on hope: a digital song cycle explores the spectrum of sounds, experiences and perspectives of hope.
Rob Rokicki (The Lightning Thief), Benjamin Scheuer (The Lion), and Vikki Stone (#zoologicalsociety) are amongst the composers who have written brand new material for on hope: a digital song cycle.
Bringing the songs to life are a team of performers, choreographers, arrangers, animators and editors who will create a number of unique pieces which will be woven together to create a brand new digital musical theatre experience.
While theatres are unable to open, director/producer Matt Powell and writer/dramaturg Victoria Saxton began to explore what could be done digitally that isn’t possible with a traditional song cycle in a theatre space: “The constraints have actually opened up a new exciting avenue and we are honoured by the volume of responses from creatives and technical masterminds who are donating their time and working relentlessly to bring some hope in these uncertain times.”
The trilogy will be streamed live on The Other Palace’s YouTube channel, broadcasting on Wednesday 29th April, 6th May & 13th May at 7:30pm.
Performances will be free to watch, however MPTheatricals have launched a fundraising initiative to support the creative talent involved in the project during this challenging time.
