Zonzo Compagnie
In Mile(s)tones, a percussionist, a pianist and a trumpet player guide you into the fascinating world of the legendary American jazz composer and trumpet player Miles Davis. His adventurous, innovative approach to music is the production's starting point, leading you into a labyrinth of ever-changing spaces and moods. One moment, you may find yourself in the vibrant creativity of a recording studio, or on stage as one of the musicians; the next moment, you're creating a live soundtrack to a movie or you're in the celebrated musician's painting studio.
Miles' adventurous, innovative approach to music leads us into a labyrinth of ever-changing spaces and moods.
In Mile(s)tones, you will experience the endless, fantastic possibilities of improvised music through the compositions of Miles Davis, with members of the renowned Belgian jazz ensemble De Beren Gieren Fulco Ottervanger and Simon Segers, and trumpet player Bert Bernaerts as the ideal guides.
Nominated for the YAM awards 2013
