Homage to Martha Graham

Ekstasis (excerpt)
Ramon Humet (Barcelona, 1968) will perform a cycle of 80-minute songs of soprano, piano, shakuhachi flute, four percussionists and dance based on the poem Homenaje a Martha Graham by Mario Lucarda as a homage to Martha Graham.
Humet contrasts the intricacy and refinement of nine songs for soprano and piano with ten instrumental interludes mediatius (meditative interludes) conceived as spaces for release and creates a primal and primitive counterbalance to the density and expressiveness of the series of songs.
The premiere incorporates the commission of a choreography created by Virginie Mécène, performed by the outstanding PeiJu Chien-Pott, a soloist with the Martha Graham Dance Company. A magnificent ensemble will perform the score: soprano Sarah Maria Sun, pianist Alberto Rosado, shakuhachi maestro Kakizakai Kaoru and Neopercusión.

- Sarah Maria Sun, soprano
