Press Reviews for …in the between

 

“… the work is a searing and startling series of meditations and illuminations on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. It also signifies the creation of a new ensemble called Trikaya, comprising Michael Askill, Riley Lee, James Coates and the extraordinary Tibetan musician Tenzin Choegyal, now based in Brisbane.

Spread languorously yet unfalteringly over an uninterrupted 100 minutes, this austere creation advances an Australian ritual theatre, combining improvised music, minimalist presentation and meditation.”

Vincent Plush (The Australian )

 

“Evocative and haunting – an exquisite rendering of one of the most important spiritual tracts of our time to the stage. If the Dalai Lama could speak with a Shakespearean accent and play music, this is what it would sound like.”

David Leser (Writer/Journalist)

 

“The Tibetan Book of the Dead isn’t an easy read. With the best intentions you might never get round to it. Trikaya’s electrifying rendition of these extraordinary instructions for life, death and beyond is a precious and timely spiritual service – taking you apart, giving your soul a great shaking, then reassembling you with infinite compassion.”

Lilith Rochas (Columnist)

 

Reviews for Mystical Tibet

 

“Thank you Camerata for a concert that kept us truly captivated!  Whilst I managed to restrain myself from jumping up and yelling ‘Free Tibet’ after the remarkable nerve tingling experience of the haunting Tibetan singing, the entire performance far exceeded our already high expectations.”

Mike and Catherine Olsen

 

“Truly a magical, as well as, a mystical experience. I think we are so fortunate to have the opportunity to hear such interesting music in our beautiful cathedral. The sensitive selection of works programmed was very special. Tenzin had the power to truly express the space and landscape of Tibet “
