"Love Fail"
music by David Lang
“love fail is a meditation on the timelessness of love that weaves together details from medieval retellings of the story of Tristan and Isolde with stories from more modern sources. The music and libretto pull together narratives of love from such sources as Lydia Davis, Marie de France, Gottfried von Strassburg, Béroul, Thomas of Britain and Richard Wagner.”
—David Lang
This breathtaking and fresh performance of Lang’s 2012 work will feature an expanded 8-voice version, written for and premiered by Lorelei Ensemble in 2016, and recently recorded on the Cantaloupe label (exp. release June 2020). New choreography by acclaimed Pilobolus Co-Artistic Director Renée Jaworski heightens this live performance with contemporary, physical expressions of love lost, and endured.
