Beautiful Trouble - World Premiere
Natacha Diels, Beautiful Trouble (2024)
JACK Quartet makes its Penn Live Arts debut in the world premiere of Natacha Diels’ Beautiful Trouble. Based on a five-part video series for choreographed string quartet, this concert-length production merges experimental music, video and theatre to create a sensory experience that considers our ability and desire to consume media. Diels created the work to examine a moment in time through the power of abstract narrative and music, both heard and seen.
Creative Team: JACK Quartet, Performers; Natacha Diels, Composer, Director, Video Designer; Julia Bumke Lead Producer; Matthew Craig, Technical Director, Sound Designer; Kent Sprague, Lighting Designer; Maile Okamura, Costume Designer
Beautiful Trouble was developed with support from Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, TIME:SPANS, The Barlow Foundation, and the Sachs Program for Arts Innovation.
