David Bremner and Louise Manifold: Split Infinites (world première)
Evangelia Rigaki and Louise Manifold: Crushbar 

We are delighted to pay our first visit to The Complex, based in the Markets Area of Dublin City Centre, for two exciting performances on June 5th. 

Soprano Elizabeth Hilliard, in collaboration with composer, David Bremner and visual artist, Louise Manifold, has created an impactful and dramatic performance experience Split Infinites, based on a collection of poems by the American poet Rosmarie Waldrop that feature a profusion of overflowing and branching syntax. Somewhere between concert-piece and installation, and including projections, electronics, sung text and materials, the work made by this highly creative team aims to immerse us in the world of these poems, conveying what Waldrop describes as “language being larger than us, not simply a tool that we are a master of”. 

The world première of this exciting new performance piece will be performed alongside an other-worldly video installation by Louise Manifold, Crush Bar. The installation was devised in collaboration with Elizabeth Hilliard and features music by Evangelia Rigaki. 

Both works on the programme are funded by The Arts Council, 

Presented in partnership with The Complex
