SUMMARY:Soundstreams | TD ENCOUNTERS – poitu varen
DESCRIPTION:“poitu varen” is a Tamil gesture of farewell that roughly translates as “I will go and come back”. Using four pianos and found natural materials connected through a series of specialized transducer speakers\, this project explores resonance as a meditative practice. The audience is invited into the heart of the experience with seating arranged in-the-round\, dissolving the boundary between performer and observer to realize a unified musical conversation. \nFeaturing piano\, electronics\, and double bass\, the performance of the title work Poitu Varen\, composed by Toronto-based composer Kalaisan Kalaichelvan\, will examine how performance objects accumulate gestures and cognitive patterns imbued with layered meaning to create a space for transformation and profound dialogue across generations of music-making. We invite you to join us in building a cartography of collective memory\, time\, and place. \n\nA discussion and audience Q&A with composer and curator Kalaisan Kalaichelvan and musicians will follow the performance.\n\nThis event is curated by Kalaisan Kalaichelvan\, winner of the 2024/25 Soundstreams New Voices Curator Mentorship Program for the Encounters Series. \nSoundstreams’ TD Encounters is a free event series hosted in venues across the city. Always offering something different\, they are equal parts performance\, artist discussion\, and Q&A\, and give audiences the opportunity to engage with artists and their work in an intimate and relaxed setting. \n\nSeats are free but space is limited. Audiences are asked to reserve their tickets at the link below.
