As part of the Mostly Mozart Festival, the International Contemporary Ensemble will perform Ashley Fure’s The Force of Things: An Opera for Objects, at the Gelsey Kirkland Arts Center in Brooklyn. The audience finds itself beneath a canopy of familiar and exotic objects, while performers spur them into action and singers, like the sirens of mythology, shout and whisper warnings, luring the audience into an entirely new way of listening. Twenty-four subwoofers create a subsonic sense of ecological anxiety, time is stretched beyond human comprehension, and seven live performers circulate within the installation acting as wordless harbingers of a new consciousness not limited to the living.
