Ben Wendel | Sound of Light

In the firmament of jazz saxophonists Ben Wendel, an American composer and a virtuoso, is constantly exploring, as in his Sound of Light project. This immersive 70-minute show combines Wendel’s instrument with Alice Godfrey’s dance in a captivating trilogue between light, sound and movement. Sound of Light comes to life on the stage of Amsterdam’s prestigious Bimhuis.

Light effects and innovative visual installations interact brilliantly with the music and dance, offering the audience a unique experience. A soothing plunge into a new-found intimacy, where human nature reconnects with light phenomena and the universe.

Combining contemplative jazz, contemporary dance and cutting-edge technology, Wendel invites us to discover a surprising and inspiring work, a moment of pure magic that redefines the boundaries of artistic performance. The audience at the Bimhuis gave this World premiere, filmed by Libelo, a triumphant reception, after which additional shows had to be organized.
