Performance from 2013
At a Crossroads, or Violinist for Hire is a series of scenes from the lives of young women, into whose space a mysterious violinist intrudes. He enchants them with his music, while they turn his world upside down…
The performance takes the form of a pasticcio—composed of fragments of operas and instrumental works by various composers, given a new, coherent storyline. The title character grapples with the eternal dilemmas of a musician: how far to push the boundaries of artistic dignity while maintaining musical passion, when the confrontation with daily life offers little optimism. The variety of settings and the entanglement in male-female relationships give the performance lightness and plenty of good humor.
