Today in EvoS: “Schismism: Natural Law”
At 5 PM today in the Casadesus Recital Hall, the EvoS program and the Department of Music are pleased to present “Schismism: Natural Law“, a multimedia performance piece inspired by the life of Charles Darwin. A collaboration between performer/vocalist/videographer Lisa Karrer and composer/multi-instrumentalist David Simons, “Schismism” explores “an interwoven collection of theoretical concepts, associations and stories that mirror Darwin’s complex and thorough exploration of evolution and universal connectedness.” More details from the description:
The performance is organized into six separate sections, exploring various aspects of Charles Darwin’s life and work. These sections include details of the theory of natural selection, excerpts of Darwin’s memoirs and diaries, family history, letters, classifications and lists, as well as contemporary stories that mirror or intersect with Darwin and his theory of evolution. In the spirit of natural selection, audience members are invited to choose the sequence of onstage events during each performance.
Where is the Casadesus Recital Hall? It’s in the Fine Arts building, near the entrance at the corner of the Peace Quad:
