Tenth Intervention presents “We Are Legion.”
A new immersive chamber work with dance based on the hacktivist collective Anonymous.
Citizens of the world, and New York City, contemporary music group Tenth Intervention invites you to the world premiere of We Are Legion, a new immersive chamber work by composer Dorian Wallace, in collaboration with choreographer Jennifer McQuiston Lott, and chamber group, New Vintage Baroque.
Come join us on Tuesday, December 8, 2015, 7:30pm at the cell theater, to experience the original score inspired by the hacktivist collective Anonymous. This work will have it’s premiere, during a time in the United States, when weekly news reports are plagued, by police brutality, gun violence, and government surveillance.
The new piece by Dorian Wallace, titled "We Are Legion" blends extreme metal, free improvisation, and contemporary classical musical idioms, addressing Anonymous’ mission to uphold freedom of speech and expression, as well as actively fighting against civic, corporate, and religious extremism and oppression. All audience and performers will be intermingled, and all wearing Guy Fawkes masks. Our guest artists are LottDance and New Vintage Baroque.
