Shane et al.
Shane is a character in a TV series that is about a girl gang that hangs out a lot. It doesn’t really have a main character but the main character is sort of the gang. Et al.indicates “and others”.
The choir has a history of backing up a soloist, but to sing in a choir can also be to temporarily submit to or acknowledge being a part of a collective protagonist. With the choir as a temporary singing- and dancing group, dances and songs are activated, recycled and composted as collective- and group-self expressions.
Scenography shifts from background to foreground when the choir’s collected forces embrace the mountain with singing. This will be an attempt to create a sort of danced IMAX with sung verses like “bright horizon stand above the earth’s stormy night”. Welcome to a take on a sort of “fulldome dance and singing concert”.
