MULTIMEDIA WORKS

Sangue

A bow touches the string. Sound opens into image. Light shifts, forms gather and dissolve, creating an immersive encounter shaped by gesture, pressure, and transformation.

An interdisciplinary collaboration between composer and cellist Rubin Kodheli and visual artist Cori O’Lan, Sangue invites audiences into a visceral dialogue where sound, image, and movement explore memory, tension, and transformation.

“Christian McBride…Laurie Anderson…along with Rubin Kodheli, a cellist who was every bit their match, played a series of deeply sympathetic improvisations, open-ended yet informed by each player’s impeccable ears and willingness to play a supporting role when needed.”

- Rolling Stone
