DECASIA

An irreverent elegy to Disneys Fantasia, Bill Morrisons extraordinarily mesmerizing Decasia is a stunningly beautiful, dystopian ode to creation and decay. Set to an original symphonic score written by Michael Gordon and performed by the Swiss 55-piece basel sinfonietta, Decasia is a formally rigorous and recursive work that both reflects and embodies the creative beauty of mans inevitably doomed struggle to transcend his own mortality. Morrison has crafted a penetrating reminder of the fragile and ephemeral nature of physicality. (Shari Frilot)
