MARCO will present the premiere of "Madness and Other Tales, 2016", a live performance by Grace Schwindt. It will take place at 8.30pm at the gallery's first floor and will be performed by Vertixe Sonora Ensemble and soprano Lisa Cassidy.
The fragility of the human body is addressed in this performance, in which a soprano and an orchestra perform a new score written by Grace Schwindt. This piece is based on the Aria of Madness from Gaetano Donizetti’s 19th-century opera Lucia di Lammermoor.
