SPRING on Screen | Genevieve Murphy - Your Feeling
Due to Covid-19, SPRING Performing Arts Festival 2020 cannot take place in May. Instead, the festival presents SPRING on Screen; a programme with work by festival artists made for the (video) screen. It gives a glimpse of what we’ll be missing, in the hope that we can catch up with the artists and their live work at SPRING in Autumn (fall 2020) or SPRING 2021 (May).
Composer and theatre maker Genevieve Murphy was supposed to present her new music theatre performance I Don’t Want To Be An Individual All On My Own at SPRING. Genevieve Murphy is one of the artists of the talent development platform Standplaats Utrecht and a Nieuwe Maker by Nicole Beutler Projects. Triggered by experiences growing up with a brother who has autism, her show is about empathy. It asks how empathy could work in times when a lot of our communication takes place on distance via social media. It is obvious how this topic got more urgent in times of lockdown. The rehearsals got interrupted and Genevieve Murphy concentrated on the musical aspect of the performance. She is now releasing an album in the fall and we premiere the first video-clip from this album here.
