IN THE DARK
In the Dark, it is not light but rather its absence that defines the score. The OMSI planetarium will be our sanctuary…When Georg Friedrich Haas composed his String Quartet No. 3 (In iij. Noct.), he stipulated that the piece be played in total darkness. For Third Angle’s performance, the OMSI planetarium will be a sanctuary—the perfect place for Haas’ tour de force.
