Description Byzantine and Christian Arabic music is juxtaposed with a haunting contemporary soundscape, as a live soprano voice singing in Ecclesiastical Greek performs from a Pilates Trapeze machine. The exquisite visual design, elements of ritual and dramatic staging combine to make Kimisis a universally moving and completely absorbing 15 minute performance.
