Mosheh is a uniquely personal depiction of the biblical saga of Moses in his early years. It examines the relationships between Moses and his mother figures while also interpreting the connection between Moses and God, a jealous and fearsome father figure. The opera is set in a present-day urban landscape that utilizes video clips of contemporary, "grungy" Brooklyn to reinterpret the human essence of the biblical tale. The piece is structured with God as narrator (sung, chant-like, by an alto and counter-tenor in unison), the "mothers" as central characters in various tableaus and the role of Moses performed by a dancer. Mosheh was developed in collaboration with and will be performed by Ensemble Pamplemousse, a new music group devoted to bringing theatricality and improvisation to the stage. TEA (Transpersonal Education & Art), a contemporary dance company, will also perform. The performance takes place at Merkin Concert Hall (129 W. 67th St.) at 8pm on this Wednesday, March 29, 2006. Tickets are $15, and can be ordered at Kaufman Center's site, or by calling 212-501-3330.

Founded by Natacha Diels, Rama Gottfried, and Dawn Kim in 2002, Ensemble Pamplemousse dedicates itself to the production and performance of new works.

As part of the creative process, the group regularly meets with composers to discuss the possibilities of each work, both musically and dramatically. This philosophy allows each concert to be entirely different from the last. Ensemble Pamplemousse is based in Brooklyn.
