The Party: A New Stop-Motion Opera Film

Film, opera, and symphony provide a stunning musical exploration of how we experience time—a depiction of a clock, the acceleration of a train, and a stop-animation film that stitches the smallest fragments of time into seamless imagery accompanied by a live orchestra. This mind-blowing, multi-sensory adventure places Joseph Haydn’s 18th-century hit “The Clock” alongside 20th-century composer Arthur Honegger’s pulse-pounding portrayal of a hurtling train, and a dazzling new work by Philadelphia-based conceptual artist Alex Da Corte in collaboration with composer Austin Fisher.
