Oriente Occidente

A group of women wearing grey coats and combat boots stand still in a bright industrial space with large windows. Their postures are rigid and solemn, evoking a sense of ritual. The atmosphere is stark and intense, aligning with the themes of resistance and female strength from the performance "Dies Irae – Concerto for Women and Hammers" by Gloria Dorliguzzo.

Gloria Dorliguzzo: Dies Irae

Show

Galina Ustvolskaya, known as the “Lady with the Hammer,” was a composer whose radical and powerful music symbolized resistance. In “Dies Irae,” her obsessive, hammering sounds are brought to life through gestures by a multigenerational group of women.
