Sample excerpt
Una historia contada por un coro y tres solistas sin escenografía, sin vestuario y sin un solo movimiento. Y aun así se ve todo, porque las voces alcanzan para construirlo.
Que cuente el coro, que respondan las voces, que no hace falta escenario para que algo ocurra. Lo que se narra bien se ve, aunque nadie se mueva del lugar.
Workshop note — Impersonal, presente, narrativa. El oratorio cuenta sin representar: la letra debe funcionar como relato coral. A 66 BPM alterna bloques de coro y respuestas solistas.
