DESCRIPTION:
‘No Man’s Land’, projeto criado por John Psathas, renomado compositor neozelandês, é um um desempenho cinematográfico que reuniu 150 artistas de 25 países, em celebração à Primeira Guerra Mundial. Os artistas se reuniram nos campos de batalha da guerra para a gravação das músicas, em um trabalho realizado pela diretora Jasmine Millet, juntamente com o diretor de fotografia Mathew Knight. O filme possui 70 minutos, mesclando diversos gêneros como o folk, jazz, rock e música clássica.

A intenção é a comunicação de uma ideia simples. ‘No Man’s Land’ apresenta uma poderosa oportunidade para refletir sobre as semelhanças e diferenças em nós mesmos. A maneira de expressar essa ideia é realizada por músicos nos lugares exatos onde, um século atrás, os soldados destes mesmos países estavam lutando e morrendo.

Em sua participação, Serj realiza um dueto com a violinista e cantora Jolanta Kossakowska.

Acclaimed New Zealand composer John Psathas, ONZM is leading the creation of a ground breaking new cinematic performance in commemoration of the First World War. Musicians descended from opposing forces of the Great War will be brought together on the battlefields of WWI in an original composition. These musical collaborations will be fused into a unique 70 minute film, to be projected alongside live musicians on-stage. All musicians, live and virtual, will perform as one epic global orchestra.

The intention is to communicate a simple idea. No Man’s Land presents a powerful opportunity to reflect on the similarities and differences in ourselves between then and now. The way of expressing this idea is by taking musicians to the exact places where, a century ago, soldiers from these same countries were fighting and dying.

No Man’s Land will combine intense musical and visual expression, filmed on-location at the Western, Eastern and Mediterranean fronts, to communicate the idea that such collaborations would have been unthinkable by the warring nations at the time of the conflict. Thus, perhaps, we can hope that nations currently at war will find themselves friends and collaborators in the years ahead.

When a Turkish musician collaborates with a New Zealand, American or Indian counterpart; when Russian, Brazilian, Japanese and German musicians perform together; when French, Austrian and Liberian musicians collaborate; they are bearing witness - often unawares - that those who once fought are no longer enemies. By celebrating positive human connections through music in this unique way, No Man’s Land is an unashamed commitment to optimism.

Released on May 31, 2016.
