In Music for a While, Mei Hong Lin was inspired by an eponymous melody by Henry Purcell, and uses dance as a metaphor to produce images of human life. A ballroom, a place of celebration, drunkenness and liberation, turns into a small theater of the world. We meet people full of vitality and joie de vivre. We become witnesses of their encounters, their seductions, their loneliness, their pain. It is a celebration of life and its crises. Christina Pluhar and her Ensemble L'Arpeggiata combine elements of early music with Jazz, reflecting the endless possibilities of music.
