Sleep unites us. We are all equal in sleep. During the night we are forming a community: a sleep community. At night the endless corridors of our subconsciousness process what we saw and heard during the day. There are two things certain in life: sleep and<br \/>\ndeath.<\/p>\n<p>The composer and the director have selected poems about the night by Artur Alliksaar. His metaphorical, playful use of the Estonian language is extremely musical and inspirational. In Alliksaar\u2019s texts, the sound associations and sound symbolism are in the foreground and his poetry has been characterized as having \u201cthe sonic primacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They Went and Planted the Seeds of Shadows Because the Light Started to Sprout is not an opera. It is a stream of dream-like, freely structured scenes that begins in the evening and ends at dawn. What is happening to us when we are not awake? Are we all connected as an invisible community or do we completely disconnect from each other and wander into infinite loneliness?<\/p>\n<p>They Went and Planted the Seeds of Shadows Because the Light Started to Sprout is an hour-long concert-performance of sound and lights, shadows, shades, and light flashes. The lighting design is an integral part of the work, which will be performed by seven instrumentalists and two singers.<\/p>\n<p>In collaboration with YXUS Ensemble, Black Box Studio, Foundation NUKU and Viimsi Parish<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"authors\"><\/span>Authors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Music: Ardo Ran Varres, Text: Artur Alliksaar<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"when-and-where\"><\/span>When and where<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>April 2016 Festival Estonian Music Days, Tallinn<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/BGhFDb19xZc?si=kWdTACRaNnZU9qdw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"cast\"><\/span>Cast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ardo Ran Varres (composer)<br \/>\nLiis Kolle (stage director)<br \/>\nOliver Kulpsoo (lighting designer)<br \/>\nReili Evart (costume designer)<br \/>\nTammo Sumera (sound engineer)<br \/>\nJaanika Kilgi (soprano)<br \/>\nTaniel Kirikal (baritone\/countertenor)<br \/>\nYXUS Ensemble:<br \/>\nMihkel Pe\u00e4ske (flute \/ bass flute)<br \/>\nToomas Vavilov (clarinet \/ bass clarinet)<br \/>\nPeeter Sarapuu (bassoon \/ contra bassoon)<br \/>\nHarry Traksmann (violin)<br \/>\nLaur Eensalu (viola)<br \/>\nLeho Karin (cello, artistic director)<br \/>\nMadis Metsamart (percussion)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A scenic serenade \/ The Music Theatre of Lights Description hey Went and Planted the Seeds of Shadows Because the Light Started to Sprout A staged serenade in one act [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":566,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-unkategorisiert"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/liiskolle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/liiskolle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/liiskolle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liiskolle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liiskolle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=651"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/liiskolle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":682,"href":"https:\/\/liiskolle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651\/revisions\/682"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liiskolle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/liiskolle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liiskolle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liiskolle.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
