‘Desert' is based on the piece 'Timber' (2009) by American composer ‎Michael Gordon. The work was premiered in Spain in 2016 by the percussion ensemble ‎FRAMES Percussion.‎

This new staging by dancer and choreographer Albert Quesada, with an innovative sound ‎design, presents a rereading of the piece and offers a unique immersive experience.‎

In Michael Gordon’s words, 'Timber' “evokes a journey through the desert.” The work is scored ‎for six large pieces of wood, known as "simantras" and used in Eastern Orthodox musical liturgy.‎ The show promised an aesthetic and aural experience that will make the audience reflect and travel through their own personal, inner ‎desert. ‎
