St. Phillip / The Martyr is a new multi-media chapter in the Phillip Project Series created by Michael Jahoda and Pasi
Granqvist for the Phillip Project, in collaboration with composer
Maarten Ornstein and live performance by choir Jan & Alleman. It
will be comprised in equal parts of spoken word, dance, video and
music. The public will be placed inside the installation and surrounded
by the media images and performers.
Throughout the 16 interrelated episodes in the Phillip Project
Series, Phillip has been on an endless madcap journey to explore, define
and defend his own sense of freedom; both in life and in the
afterlife. (St.) Phillip, the main character and leitmotif of the
Phillip Project Series, will explore the concept of martyrdom in a cycle
of martyr-deaths as he searches for “something bigger than himself ” that is worth dying for.
The aim of the Phillip Project is to highlight and humanize questions
of freedom, life and death and to create multi-layered and multi-media
environments that invite the public to immerse themselves in some “big”
questions.
