New Maker Ensemble Tour
'I Transgress Borders and Boundaries'

‘I transgress borders and boundaries’ is an interdisciplinary concert that brings together musicians, composers, artists, researchers, scientists and philosophers in search of elemental histories. From stone to soil and ice to water, the concert delves into deep time transformations of one living planet and its more recent encounters with human forces. By sharing a voice with a multitude of life-forms, the programme seeks to tune in to matters that come to matter, and that simultaneously embody our past, present and future.

This concert is presented by Sara Rodrigues, Roxanna Albayati and Rodrigo B. Camacho.
