Today’s brief was to write a musical work. Still had to be theatrical – but needed to be ‘composed’ rather than written. This one was straight up my alley – so once I’d got my concept in my head I just freeballed this and it was written quite quickly.
Entitled “Jordan” this is a theatre-song based in the Levant and featuring Jordan and its surrounding neighbour countries entering and greeting and passing each other in rhythm and words and movement. They reach a peak of the ‘crossroads’ and then unwind from each other.
Is it love? Is it peace? Is it reconciliation?
Who knows.
They exit.
