Kalea and British visual artist Phoebe Pryor have come together to present Playing with Words, a musical and visual journey through artistic and literary movements of the 19th and 20th centuries. The work was inspired on Julian Rosefeldt’s Manifesto, a fascinating film installation in which actor Cate Blanchett took on 13 different roles to represent 13 different manifestos of the 20th century. This work compelled them to devise a show with a similar concept, but this time told through music. Kalea and Phoebe have taken poetry and writings from different artistic movements from early Romanticism to Post- modernism (including works by W.H. Auden, J.W. Goethe, Søren Kierkegaard, Filippo Marinetti, Ezra Pound,and Gertrude Stein, among many others) and have reimagined how they look and soun like through original compositions, improvisation, and live drawing.
