Description

Adapting the French name for contralight, ContreJour is a project in evolution for more than thirty years, bringing together the artistic vision of Canadian photographer and multimedia artist Leah Singer with American composer, guitarist, and producer Lee Ranaldo, a founding member of Sonic Youth. 

Singer and Ranaldo break traditional dynamics between performer and audience to examine how live image and sound might interact. Using a diverse array of acoustic and electric guitars and digital instruments, they create an immersive sound experience where the techniques and materials that the historic artist Lourdes Castro developed are reinterpreted in a bucolic and reflective journey that reflects on her lasting impact on the international artistic avant-garde.

“there’s a deep commitment (to art) that goes beyond music movements and trends or eras.” Anurag Tagat, Rolling Stone

About PS21

A vibrant center for contemporary performance in the Hudson Valley, PS21 “presents work that challenges and invites” (The New York Times): adventurous productions by leading and emerging American and international artists in music, dance, and theater, and visionaries creating entirely new genres. On our open-air Pavilion Theater stage, across our expansive, unspoiled grounds, and in the diverse surrounding communities, PS21 cultivates and presents productions that transcend aesthetic boundaries and revitalize existing artistic languages and grammars. Throughout the year, we host developmental residencies for dancers, musicians, actors, and creators of original, even unclassifiable new work. Rooted in community collaboration, PS21’s programming engages creatively with critical global and social issues. It is a mecca for innovative and original artistic voices, a destination for performance that can be experienced nowhere else in the region. PS21’s Pavilion Theater is a green-energy marvel surrounded by 100 acres of unspoiled meadows, trails, and woodlands that are a haven to wildlife and visitors across the region.  Integrated into our unspoiled campus, the theater embodies our commitments to the public: open, inviting, and optimized for their enjoyment and encouraging citizen expression and participation.
