A magical piece for 5 singers exploring the space between past and present, and between individual and collective identities. Playfully balancing choreography and song, A Beginning is a powerfully evocative trip into how the world began, and where we are now. 

In a time seemingly filled with apocalyptic visions of the future, Bauzà and Jou attempt to take back the initiative and reclaim meaning within language. An attempt to restart the world, to re-light the path, and to re-imagine the songs we might sing. 

This is a story about understanding the past to address our uncertain future. It is sung mostly in semi-darkness, looking for the light. The performance is a multi-dimensional invitation to re-imagine, the lines that define us, and to push back and blur those boundaries between bodies together and bodies apart. 

A Beginning #1616D is a strongly physical incantation combining vocal and electronic compositions to create a dream-like kaleidoscope of impressions and exquisitely sung verses that hang sensually within the air that surrounds us. A Beginning #1616D is about the future that we all need to share.
