The Versipel Collective returns to the New Marigny Theatre with “Chaos Cultures IV: Stay On It!” an electrifying program that cuts across sound, history, and urgent social reality. This program is anchored by Julius Eastman’s 1973 minimalist classic “Stay on it,” an unashamedly adventurous work that is simultaneously repetitive, adventurous, and joyful; always returning to the vocal refrain of “Stay On It” no matter what happens. This program also features the world premiere of Sacrifice Zones by co-founder Philip Schuessler – a nine-piece chamber work that confronts the devastating environmental and human toll of Louisiana’s “Cancer Alley,” tracing the lived experiences of communities along the Mississippi River corridor. These works sit alongside bold, uncompromising voices in contemporary music: Annie Gosfield’s gritty, industrial Cranks and Cactus Needles, Linda Catlin Smith’s beautifully placid quartet Nightshade, and Everything Else by Sarah Hennies, a graphic score exploring repetitive sounds not normally heard in a concert setting.
