Spoken word meets the Australian Art Orchestra in a daring new work that reimagines Stravinsky’s A Soldiers Story for a digital age.
Scored by Artistic Director Aaron Choulai, with narrative and performance by rapper Roman MC, To Kill A Magic We Got Used To follows a modern artist trading authenticity for social media fame. Experience this genre defying performance with a 10 piece ensemble building the story live by utilising Choulais unique conducting system. Stravinskys music is abstracted into a blend of composition and improvisation around Roman MCs narrative led spoken word and freestyle. This gripping work confronts the cost of visibility and the fragile balance between creative ambition and artistic integrity.
