Tourbillons by Aperghis/Cadiot was performed by soprano Donatienne Michel-Dansac. The work can be described as a portrait of a production process, because the production is about the thoughts and ideas of a singer/performer in meeting with a text and tunes and art.
The presentation of the visiting play was supported by Arts Council Norway and Ny Musikk Oslo.
