Jenny Hval: The Practice of Love

,Milton Court Concert Hall

An immersion in music, literature and movement in a new piece from musician, composer and writer Jenny Hval.

Joined by experimental musicians, vocalists, dancers and video artists, Hval explores the connection between life, art and the nature of creativity. Drawing on 90s trance music, the artists create a kind of soundscape into which a set of projected words start appearing, slowly transforming the space into a living canvas for language and voices.

Combining electronics and pop with surreal aesthetics, Jenny Hval has been creating music that is at once boundary-pushing, atmospheric and catchy for over fifteen years.
