Daniel: A Medieval Masterpiece Revisited
Daniel: A Medieval Masterpiece Revisited
The Play of Daniel is a powerful medieval mystery play composed eight centuries ago in Beauvais, France. It tells the prophecies, tribulations, and triumph of the young Biblical hero Daniel, with music from medieval Beauvais. Under Anne Azéma’s direction (music and staging), our ambitious production will combine old and new, bringing together music and movement, theater and liturgy, light and shadow, to retell the biblical story of the young prophet for today’s audiences.

The cast features tenor Jordan Pitts as Daniel; with participation of the Trinity Choristers and students from Longy School of Music of Bard College

With Shira Kammen, vielle; Karim Nagi, percussion; and Indrany Datta-Barua, dancer. Special lighting and media by Peter Torpey, MIT Media Lab.
