A Worthy Mirror
screening party
NOVEMBER 7, 2024 @7PM // Ridgewood, NYC
Join members of Alkemie for the premiere screening of their new concert film, A Worthy Mirror. The screening will take place at “The Secret Loft” in Ridgewood, near the Halsey street subway stop (L). Exact address will be distributed to ticketholders ahead of the event.
A WORTHY MIRROR represents a time-traveling dialogue with the 12th-century trobairitz–the feminine counterpart of the poet-composers known as troubadours. Together with Forward Music Project, we are commissioning eleven female and non-binary composers to respond to and converse with the 36 extant trobairitz texts (of which we only have music for one). This body of lyric poetry represents a large group of historically female and anonymous femme voices in the literary tradition. Witty, ironic, heartbreaking, and erotic—these texts present a mirror to reflect upon what feels foreign about the past and what feels familiar, what is the role of gender and self in relationships, and how do we make space for the multiplicities of identity, both in the 12th century and today.
