about

WHERE GRIEF SLUMBERS by EARL KIM
is a work about Ophelia.
The work features seven poems by Apollinaire and Rimbaud translated to English by Kim. Ophelia’s growing madness and disillusion is portrayed by Kim’s choice to omit double basses from the orchestration. It creates a lighter texture without a strong foundation that seems to complement Ophelia’s teetering mental state.
After Ophelia loses her father, and believes Hamlet has rejected her, she no longer sees a reason to continue living.
Apollinaire and Rimbaud’s poems richly illustrate Ophelia’s grief, madness, and her questionable suicidal drowning with images of rain, and the sea. Water’s connection to past, present, and future life is represented throughout this work.

Live recital recorded in ROD Hall at CalArts March 13 2016.
