Acclaimed musician, sound designer and creative Max Cooper has been invited by the Salzburg Easter Festival to create a new show, taking place at the iconic Felsenreitschule on 28th March 2024. Entitled »Seme«, the latest project in the London based audio-visual artist's vast portfolio of work will be a meditation on the form which yields us, and the world we live in.
The 2024 edition of Salzburg Easter Festival will be directed by Sir Antonio Pappano, who has set the theme of the annual festival around the spirit and passion of Italy. Following Pappano’s guide, Cooper’s intention for »Seme«(or »Seed«) takes a profound Italo-perspective, mining the region’s rich cultural past by combining historic Italian musical and elegant visual aesthetics with their counterparts from the history of science, philosophy and art.
He will be joined in collaboration by Sarah Aristidou, critically acclaimed French-Cypriot soprano, and Niels Orens, Belgian cello laureate and electronic composer.
