Art of Fugue Premiers in Berlin,
October 17-18, 2024
In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of its debut, SYREN is thrilled to be partnering with Bach Society Houston to bring The Art of Fugue to the magnificent Marienkirche in Berlin, Germany. Once called “the most sensuous Bach experience ever”, The Art of Fugue explores themes and definitions of beauty, and the persistent human search for its existence in dark circumstances. Over the past decade, the SYREN dancers have swept through sacred spaces with the resounding splendor of Bach’s fugues ringing in the background, and The Art of Fugue has emerged as a recognizable cornerstone of SYREN’s repertory.
Science In Motion created in partnership with Museum of Science Boston
SYREN has launched a new project that explores today’s most pressing scientific questions through the artistry and physicality of the human body in motion. Through dance, SYREN seeks to embrace momentous innovations in artificial intelligence and neural networks while prodding at the edges of consciousness from within the human mind and body. As artists, we ask: How can our greatest scientific minds and our deepest artistic inquiries help us get closer to understanding what makes us human? And, how should we approach that which is not? In 2024-2025, SYREN will offer various arts-in-education engagements throughout the creation and performance of this work, leveraging existing relationships with schools, museums, universities, and more, and building new ones as we go.
Your continued support is critical to making this season a resounding success.
We hope you can make it to see SYREN leap into our third decade in
Boston, Berlin, and beyond!
