Music for New Bodies is a co-presentation by


Matt Aucoin’s Music for New Bodies, created in collaboration with acclaimed director Peter Sellars, is a bold meditation on our shifting place in the natural world. Fusing poetic texts from Jorie Graham with visceral soundscapes, Aucoin crafts a work that is at once urgent and transcendent, while Sellars’ visionary staging brings the music into striking visual focus. Together, they invite us to imagine new forms of life, connection, and transformation.
