To Kill A Magic We Got Used To

Australian Art Orchestra premieres this daring new work by Artistic Director Aaron Choulai with narrative and spoken word performance by Roman MC, premiering as part of Sonic City.

A reimagining of Stravinsky’s L'Histoire du soldat for a digital age, following a modern artist trading authenticity for social media fame.

Experience this genre-defying performance with a 10-piece ensemble, building the story live through Choulai’s unique Sono-Kinetic Conducting system. Stravinsky’s music is abstracted into a blend of composition and improvisation around Roman MC’s narrative-led spoken word and freestyle.

This gripping work confronts the cost of visibility and the fragile balance between creative ambition and artistic integrity.
