Extract

‘Music is a dark world of meaningless abstraction, of memory and longing.’ These words by Niels Rønsholdt boldly opened his new opera Gaze for Gaze, created collaboratively with the ensemble and music theatre collective SCENATET. Gaze for Gaze was one of the cornerstones of SPOR's 2018 programming, shown three times to an intimate sold-out audience of around 40 people. The piece's clever twist – text was delivered by audience members sitting in a circle around the work's two lead performers, with the rest of the musicians performing behind the audience – brought to the fore many of SPOR's curatorial themes: absence, substitution, and darkness.
