Constantin Basica’s “Fugue for Bells, Beans, and Bugs” is a body percussion trio with video. In addition to speaking and clapping, the performers move through a series of prescribed steps on a 16-point path around the shared table. In Part 1 of the work, the performers move through this musical material and choreography in canon, in retrograde, and in rhythmic augmentation and diminution. In Part 2 of the work, the performers grab handfuls of bells, beans, and bugs from the table, and drop them on the floor, then walk around the performance space picking them up – these motions duplicated in the video. From the score: “At the end of the video, your doppelgängers discover a bizarre monster: think of the science fiction film Arrival, but instead of the spaceship, you can see a colossal hybrid between a plastic bug, a white bean, and a metal jingle bell.”
