FARMING, a stirring new work by Ted Hearne written for The Crossing, grapples with the impact of settler colonialism on current labor practices from tech to agriculture. Texts are drawn from William Penn and Jeff Bezos, among other sources.
Scored for 24 vocalists with guitars, percussion and electronics, FARMING, in development for four years, promises to be a major event—immediate and virtuosic, with Ted’s stylistic eclecticism, driving rhythms, and explosive energy...next to a tended field.
Major support for Farming has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, with additional support from an anonymous donor.
