Sound and Colour (2018)


Sound and Colour

March 22-24, 2018

harbourfront centre theatre, toronto

Alexander Scriabin's 24 Preludes, Op. 11  for piano were presented in a special solo performance by Andrew Burashko. Each of the preludes was bathed in an immersive colourfield experience, crafted by esteemed lighting designer Kevin Lamotte, corresponding to Scriabin's synesthetic correlation of colour to music.

Paired with a lecture about art and synesthesia from renowned synesthesia expert, neurologist Dr. Richard Cytowic (author of The Man Who Tasted Shapes), this show was a feast for the ears, the eyes and the mind.
