COLOR GAMES / KALEIDOSCOPE: A KISS FOR ALL THE WORLD Comes to Den Norske Opera & Ballett Next Month

One string quartet, one popular symphony and an on-stage ensemble consisting of 90 children and young people with roots from around the world. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony like you've never heard or seen it before!

The Norwegian Chamber Orchestra (DNK) has invited Fargespill to explore the musical common denominators between classical symphonic music and hip hop, Indian konnakol (a traditional vocal technique) and rhythms from Uganda, Colombia, Rwanda and Morocco.

With respectful curiosity, Fargespill has danced and sung its way through Beethoven's jubilant Ode to Joy , picked it apart and put it back together again with elements ranging from rap and afrobeat to the music of a Turkish diva!

The performance takes place on January 23.
