Aurora Picture Show and Musiqa once again join forces to present an eye-opening mix of film, lighting, and music. As part of Musiqa’s Downtown Series, music and film will mingle and take center stage in a special collaboration for one night only.  With music by Kilstofte, Maroney, Knussen, Turnage and Brandt; along with lighting design by Christina Giannelli and Tomasz Golka conducting, music will share the center stage with film.     

Curated by Aurora Picture Show, the short screening amidst musical performances will feature Are You The Favorite Person of Anyone?, directed by Miguel Arteta and written by artist and filmmaker Miranda July.  Arteta’s short film features three dialogues written by Miranda July and stars John C. Reilly, Mike White, Miranda July and Chuy Chavez. People In Order, directed by media artist Lenka Clayton and James Price, will also be featured as part of the screening. Starting from age one, the film places 100 different people arranged in order according to their age. 

Musiqa is a contemporary music group that takes a fresh look at the concert experience. They create events that combine dance, poetry, theatre, film and the visual arts with the finest modern repertoire.
