SOUNDSTREAMS PRESENTS – POITU VAREN
Wednesday February 5, 2025 @ 7:30pm
Named after the Tamil gesture “Poitu Varen” (“I will go and come back”), and inspired by Anne Carson’s “The Anthropology of Water”, this Soundstreams TD Encounters invites both audience and performer on a pilgrimage through sound. Featuring an installation of four pianos each connected through a series of specialized speakers, this project explores resonance as a meditative practice, and invites the audience into the heart of the experience with seating arranged around the instruments, dissolving the boundary between performer and observer.
A discussion and audience Q&A with composer and curator Kalaisan Kalaichelvan and musicians will follow the performance.
Seats are free but space is limited. Audiences are asked to reserve their tickets here: https://soundstreams.kindful.com/e/td-encounters-poitu-varen
Supported by TD Bank Group through the TD Ready Commitment.
