ORPHEUS SONG-1970 . POETIC SYMPHONY FOR THREE VOICES AND CHORUS.
Action poetry trio formed by Bartolomé Ferrando, Laura Tejeda and Alain Goudard with the Corodelantal of the MACA directed by Sonia Megías.
In collaboration with: Consortium of Museums of the Valencian Generalitat
The Songs of Orpheus is a collection of visual poems of a musical nature, created by Elena Asins in 1970 on loose sheets of paper with a typewriter, forming beautiful drawings with letters, groupings of illegible sounds and words that construct phrases with a certain semantic sense and literary qualities, which allude to one of the oldest and most obscure episodes of Greek mythology: the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, traversed by love and death. It is one of the most important pieces in the history of Spanish experimental poetry and is being shown for the first time.
A vocal experimentation group that was born in New York in 2011 and continued in Madrid from the end of 2012. In 2025 it celebrates its 5th edition at the MACA.
