next friday 21 of November, at 19:30 h, Berklee Valencia presents Berklee to Les Arts: Prisoners of the Sun at the Martín i Soler Theater of the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía.
Inspired by Verdi's Luisa Miller, and in the myth of Icarus, Prisoners of the Sun reflects on the desire for freedom that shapes our lives. Each song becomes a mirror that reveals to us the prisons built by ourselves: of love and resentment, of comfort and repetition, of ambition and suffering.
The show features students from Berklee Valencia and includes a repertoire that includes songs by artists such as Esperanza Spalding, Laura Age, Serge Gainsbourg, Talking Heads, Dodie, Billy Joel and Manos Hadjidakis. With arrangements by the performers themselves, The ensemble is made up of a group of vocalists accompanied by saxophone, piano, bass and drums.
The work not only seeks to portray our often invisible limits., but also name them, shape the walls that bind us. In the light of the sun, perhaps we can understand that freedom does not reside in the flight itself, but in the courage to look directly at it and keep your feet on the ground.
