A strikingly original crossover of various art forms at the Athens Festival. Two Jacquard looms, an electronic computer, an actor, the Latinitas Nostra Baroque music ensemble and the SUM creative team cross paths on stage. Juxtaposing the sheet music of Membra Jesu Nostri, the masterpiece of Danish-born Baroque composer Dieterich Buxtehude, with the punched cards of early looms, Danke promises to deliver an utterly delightful musical/theatrical achievement.
