Is This What You Believe?
Is This What You Believe? is an examination and a critique of the ontological landscape of a contemporary city. These performances question the acts of Ritual and the idea of the Sacred, especially as it is placed within the dominant culture – a culture that is nothing, if not secular, materialist and wedded to hedonism and entertainment. Nick Tsiavos brings together four remarkable musicians to join him in this work, all their histories indicate a willingness and an ability to search for transcendent beauty within the grit and dissonance of modern art music.
