* Episode 2 - an introduction by Max Cooper: *

“I began thinking about all the foundational ideas and aesthetics coming from Italy, and the connections to my interests which have gone into previous projects.

I set on the idea of Seme to link foundational aesthetics in science to other areas found in Italian culture: art, religious iconography, architecture, music…

It's a big melting pot of ideas and form.

Seme refers to this idea of looking for foundational form, as the seed of the ideas, music and art of today.

This project was an opportunity to try something new, and to bring a new form of human meaning and art into my work and performance.

The results have been powerful. It's been a really productive process for me.”

* About Seme: *

‘Seme’ is the latest project in my vast portfolio of work.

Invited by the prestigious Salzburg Easter Festival to create a new show for the opera and classical music festival, I have drawn upon Italy’s rich cultural past by combining historic Italian musical and elegant visual aesthetics with modern audio, visual and theatrical techniques.
