Dance of the Bee is a work performed by three pianists, the vocalists of the Astra choir and a live swarm of bees, housed inside a sculpted, transparent hive. Woven through the mysterious song of the bees, the pieces range from soundscapes to intense virtuosic arrangements, punctuated by semi-improvised sonic excursions.
As the bees sing, live video allows us to observe the marvel of the hive at work – and to ponder on the fragile connection between our world and theirs.
