PAVEMENTOPERA

3.27 / 2009

In alleyways and doorways across the city, plastic bags sing a street opera. The pavement choir sings Cardew’s ‘The Great Learning’. A sudden gust of wind finally unites two singers high in the sky for an airborne farewell.

The film was commissioned for Tate Britain by Max Reinhardt with music: ‘The Great Learning’ Cornelius Cardew
