Teatr ZAR

Join the international ensemble of Life in this House is Over for a free performance and singing demonstration as part of Crellin Park Day. The ensemble features singers and performers from celebrated company Teatr ZAR, whose work emerged from expeditions collecting centuries-old polyphonic songs that have their roots in the beginning of the human era and are probably some of the oldest forms of polyphony in the world.

The performance will feature traditional songs from Turkey, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Georgia, Croatia, and Corsica, as well as original and contemporary reimaginings that appear in Life in this House is Over as never heard before. Directly following the performance, the ensemble will teach the audience a traditional celebration song from Georgia and lead the crowd in a powerful collective rendition.
