"Cello goddess" (The New Yorker) Maya Beiser gives the world premiere of Pulitzer Prize-wining composer David Lang's new work "the day" paired with his previous work for her, "world to come." The two works are written as companion pieces, featuring words and music by David Lang, cello and spoken word performed by Maya Beiser, video for "world to come" by Irit Batsry, video for "the day" and lighting design by Jim Findlay, and sound design by David Cook. Lang's "world to come" was written in 2003 in response to the events of 9/11, and is a meditation on the life and death of the soul. "the day" uses text sourced from the Internet, searching the ways that ordinary people spend their day.
