Performance by P.6 Artist Bethany Collins
Marigny Opera House, 725 St Ferdinand St, New Orleans, LA 70117
Open to the Public | RSVP: Required

Named after the first stage of twilight, Bethany Collins’ Civil Dusk (2024) will begin as sunlight fades. The performance consists of multiple versions of Auld Lang Syne sung simultaneously, while focusing on a version historically sung by soldiers in the trenches of war. The melody remains constant as the lyrics change, resulting in a familiar chaos. Despite moments of rupture, there are a few moments of synchronicity in the performance, where two voices nearly align. The performance will end in astronomical twilight, when sunlight no longer illuminates the west- facing stained glass windows of the opera house. Ending in darkness. Music sung by Allie Bradford and Keanon Kyles.

8:30pm - 10pm
