Dutch Composers NOW Presents: Close To Your Head w/ Celia Swart - Elevation of Self-Validation

Underground pop-idol Lisa (@lisaislive) presents "Close To Your Head", a collection of visual works from composers who combine the real and the electronic in brittle, human forms. All working in groundbreaking ways, combining classical composing with contemporary techniques. Feel the friction of skin on skin, intricacy and detail, and the boldness of 5 faces, 5 voices, and 5 spaces.

Celia Swart (1994, NL) is a saxophonist and a contemporary music composer. Celia creates multi-media works with visuals of her illustrations and stop-motion animation. For the new double-bill programme of ensemble Kluster5: "Perceived Reality" Celia experiences an alternate reality inside the apps on her phone in this dynamic audio-visual work. It's a performance about our current society in which reality is often not perceived as it truly is. The piece was commissioned and performed by ensemble Kluster5 and will be taken on tour. To catch it live, visit the Kluster5 website!
