BETRAYAL: A POLYPHONIC CRIME DRAMA FROM I FAGIOLINI AND JOHN LA BOUCHARDIÈRE

In May 2015, ten years since The Full Monteverdi (described by The Times as “one of the most surprising music-theatre hits of the decade”), I Fagiolini and director John La Bouchardière present their long-awaited follow-up - Betrayal: a polyphonic crime drama.

This new piece of immersive music theatre - a murder mystery experience - is set to the unsettling music of Renaissance composer Carlo Gesualdo and fuses unaccompanied singing with contemporary dance in hidden corners of real-life urban locations. Betrayal’s world première, presented by The Barbican in association with Village Underground, will be at Village Underground in Shoreditch on Wednesday 13 May, with further performances there on 14 and 15 May; at Cambridge Early Music at part of Cambridge Early Music on 20, 21 and 22 May; and in a multi-storey car park at Ageas Salisbury International Arts Festival on 3, 4 and 5 June 2015.
