What would happen if we tried to give back meaning to words and did this with the help of contemporary classical music? What would happen if the sounds of an orchestra gained understanding through the spoken word?
We’re all in the same boat, just trying
Just trying to figure it out.
With words that confuse us but fuel us
With words that lead us astray.
We wander the seven seas
In search of our answers
We stop and hold on here and there
We try and remember
The stories they told us
We try, but mainly, we fail.
And yet we keep talking and going
And that fills us with hope
So what the next chapter will bring is still open
What the next word will be is yet to be known!
Baransulan tells the story of a young man’s search for the meaning of words. On his voyage, he discovers many languages and is tempted by various ideologies and belief systems. It is when he also discovers music that he finally makes sense of it all.
Baransulan is a classic coming-of-age story that hones in on the importance of language, both that of words and of music. The lyrical quality and rhythm of the spoken words in Baransulan are in constant dialogue with the music, and the marriage between the poetic narration and the musical score give the piece an innovative new appeal and charm.
