Dissonant Species

November 14–17 2024

Running Time: 60 minutes
16+ years

An aggressive incident leaves a music professor shaken. When the effects of this unexpected interaction resonate through the professor to those around him, each individual begins to question the (dis)harmony of their relationships. Every day we must share the planet with people who have fundamentally different, irreconcilable beliefs to our own. How do we find harmony in the dissonance around us?

 Dissonant Species takes principles of species counterpoint used in classical Western music composition and uses them as a musical metaphor to decipher and explore the complexities and nuances of human interaction. Vibration, harmony, and discord become allegories for the inevitable conflicts that erupt between us.
