A free diver transcends her terrestrial ties and embarks on an odyssean journey through our world’s waterways. Through the evocative abstraction of song, image and sound, we follow her into the deep. Carried by the currents that connect us all, she encounters billions of bioluminescent creatures, the endlessly inventive structures of coral reefs on their annual night of spawning, fields of human detritus, and abandoned nets still fishing for no one. What she finds is at once awe-inspiring and devastating. Crafted by three veterans of rock, classical, and pop music, and using the most powerful aspects of each, Black Inscription is a set of songs that investigates our evolving understanding of the ocean and our relationship to it. It is an immersive performance that reminds us of both the emotional and ecological significance the sea. Black Inscritption was created with the cooperation of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Composed by the band Rabbit Rabbit (Carla Kihlstedt and Matthias Bossi) along with Jeremy Flower.
