In the ancient Buddhist/Hindu legend, an enlightened king, Indra, stretches a large net across the universe with an infinitely faceted jewel placed at each intersection. Each jewel is unique yet reflects all the others, illuminating the interdependence of all living things. Following an initial concert performance of the work at Mills College in 2021, this monumental creation receives a full production in its highly anticipated North American premiere. Monk, together with members of her extraordinary Vocal Ensemble, a sixteen-piece chamber orchestra and an additional eight-member chorus, offers an interplay of music, movement and architecture to embody celestial, earthly and human realms through sound, video and performance. The resulting production serves as a beacon to affirm life and a sense of connection to each other and all living things in our contemporary world.
