Two Lovers

Ilios Festival, Harstad, Norway / 2017

In this short text, the shadow of a tall mountain overtakes two lovers as they lie in a field. As the shadow spreads across the land (indicated in the libretto by redactions) the vocalists cease to sing words until, one by one, the shadow overtakes them all.
