Project Agora @ MALAM - Music for the World of Tomorrow

An unprecedented community gathering takes the form of an exhibition, bridging the gap between two generations of master artists separated by many generations. The question arises: How can we unite a community within an exhibition space that transcends mere display, offering instead a space for communion and intense "communitas" - those profound moments shared by a group? Prodigy pianist Theo Abellard's original composition initiates a dialogue with the antique sculptures of artist Georges Liautaud (1899-1991). Abellard, with musical direction from James Oscar, endeavors to address one of society's most critical losses: recovering the public sphere and intangible human heritage of these sculptures for quiet reflection, music, contemplation, and secular sacred gatherings as ceremonies.
