The Waste Land was pitched by Amsterdam Sinfonietta and ISH Dance Collective at ISPA’s New York 2023 Congress. A century ago, T.S. Eliot wrote The Waste Land, depicting a world on the brink of collapse. Inspired by this poem and the parallel with our current times, the Iranian composer Farokhzad Layegh wrote Lexolalia Descenticum. His composition formed the inspiration of this production by Amsterdam Sinfonietta and ISH Dance Collective, supplemented by music from Arvo Pärt, Fazil Say, Bryce Dessner and others. Like the poem, the show is centered around the universal theme of decline and recovery, and in the end The Waste Land leaves the audience with a strong sense of hope. The Waste Land sharpens all the senses with incandescent music, acrobatic dance, mysterious visuals and unexpected twists. The Waste Land will play at the Hong Kong Arts Festival in March, 2025 and will also tour to Shanghai and Singapore.
