SOS (The Song of Songs)

SOS THE SONG OF SONGS

The world premiere of the stage cantata SOS The Song of Songs for fourteen singers, two readers, including a percussion and a telegraph key, took place at the NET festival on December 1, 2017, in the New Space Moscow. 
On November 17, 2021, the Baryshnikov Art Center New York hosted the premiere of the stage cantata SOS in digital format. 

Initially created as a live performance, this work by artist Vera Martynov and composer Alexey Sysoev is about joint re-experiencing* a tragedy on a personal and global scale as a process of liberation from the past and discovery of new opportunities.

"Death is inextricably a part of life, and that lifelong consideration of death enriches rather than impoverishes life. Though the physicality of death destroys an individual, the idea of death can save him."
Irvin Yalom

The libretto is formed by three of the following texts: 
Song of Songs, a canonical text in the Old Testament; 
The letters of Pliny the Younger, who was a Roman politician as well as a writer and a lawyer, he lived in the first century AD; 
Vera Martynov's iPhone Notes. 
 
*Re-experiencing, or involuntary recollection, is a psychological phenomenon in which a person goes through sudden, intense, repeated experiences of the past or their elements.
