To Kill A Magic We Got Used To

Australian Art Orchestra (AAO) premieres To Kill A Magic We Got Used To, a daring new work by Artistic Director Aaron Choulai with narrative and spoken word performance by Roman MC. A reimagining of Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du soldat for a digital age, following a modern artist trading authenticity for social media fame.
Experience this genre-defying performance with a 10-piece ensemble, building the story live through Choulai’s unique Sono-Kinetic Conducting system. Stravinsky’s music is abstracted into a blend of composition and improvisation around Roman MC’s narrative-led spoken word and freestyle.
This gripping work confronts the cost of visibility and the fragile balance between creative ambition and artistic integrity.
