Tiferet is the first and biggest performance to use the Dynamic Speakers ©. A new musical performance that premiered at the Maxim Gorki Theater in Berlin on November 12, 2017. Two dancers, six vocal soloists, a choir and ten Dynamic Speakers © were part of the immersive, full evening show.
Tiferet is composed by Amir Shpilman and merges theatrical means, movement, and new music compositions into one seething evening. The outcome is an evolving journey into new sonorous spaces.
The performance begins with an explosive exchange through a passionate ritual between two dancers in a confined space at centerstage. Step by step, the scene grows as the vocal soloists merge their actions with the dancers and move the music away from centerstage and closer to the audience. Surrounding the audience, a hidden choir is gradually revealed and it generates a circle of surrounding sound that grows in volume and ascension of tones. At that point the Dynamic Speakers © lower from the ceiling and moving freely right above the audience, creating independent, oscillating fields of sound.
