Light provides the climate of the dance. For evanescence, light her from behind. - Jo Thorpe

​

Inspired by the story of original sin, EVE looks at the power of temptation and the struggle for redemption in a series of short dramatic episodes. The sound world of the work is a mixture of genres - compositions by Francesco Tosti and Zbigniew Preisner are fused with spoken words by New Zealand poet Jo Thorpe, performed by acclaimed Tenor, Cameron Barclay (The Ten Tenors, New Zealand Opera).
