Singing Through Darkness
Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble has earned international recognition for its unique sound, a sound which explores a vast palette of ancient yet contemporary-sounding vocal effects that evoke a striking range of subtle to extreme inner states, instincts, and emotions. To conclude their 2009-2010 season, Kitka presents the world premiere of SINGING THROUGH DARKNESS, a new international vocal-theater work created in collaboration with Ukrainian composer/music director Mariana Sadovska and German stage director Andre Erlen.


SINGING THROUGH DARKNESS is a powerful dramatic cycle of personal histories distilled in folk songs about war from Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and beyond. These songs provide a mirror through which today's global challenges can be reflected upon. Sadovksa and Erlen say, "Throughout time and across national boundaries, the intense experiences associated with times of conflict have produced a remarkable body of songs, and the war-themed folksongs of this region have a particularly powerful emotional impact. SINGING THROUGH DARKNESS contemplates the dynamic, shifting relationships that link history, memory, and the creative imagination, and the role of music in sustaining the human spirit through times of conflict."


SINGING THROUGH DARKNESS builds upon the success of Kitka, Sadovska, and Erlen's most recent collaboration THE RUSALKA CYCLE: SONGS BETWEEN THE WORLDS, a work that has been presented to capacity audiences at international theater festivals in the USA, Poland, Germany, and Ukraine since its acclaimed 2005 Oakland premiere.
