Baby Doll : a symphonic and migratory project
BEETHOVEN Symphony n° 7
YOM Musical interludes
BABY DOLL is a symphonic project commissioned by seven French orchestras to mark Beethoven’s anniversary year, 2020.
German symphonic music rubs shoulders with Yiddish klezmer while recent reports by women who have made the trek to Europe are set in juxtaposition to our understanding of Beethoven as a proponent of global humanism. An evening in which symphony concert meets klezmer session. A blend of dance, documentary theatre and video installation featuring live orchestra, klezmer composer Yom and other guests.
