Music paints images, bodies tell stories. In "Silhouettes," choral sound and movement merge into a performance between light and darkness. Voices and gestures create fleeting images that linger in space and time—sometimes delicate and shimmering, sometimes powerful and mysterious. What remains when the light fades? What hides in the shadows? The MDR Children's Choir and eight members of the MDR Radio Choir musically explore the spaces between the visible and the invisible.
