Programme Note
Distance is Laura Bowler’s ground-breaking multimedia chamber work which draws a parallel between the process of video streaming and flight travel. While soprano Juliet Fraser performs live in Cheltenham, the Talea Ensemble will be livestreamed directly from New York. Merging multiple video feeds, live and recorded sound, the piece reflects on both the psychological distance from our planet’s natural environment when travelling by plane and the psychological impact of air travel on passengers.
