Program notes
As part of the Rolex Arts Weekend, a world premiere performance of composer, intermedia artist and Rolex music protégée Pauchi Sasaki’s GAMA (a composition with two speaker dresses) and OMAGUA introduced by her mentor Philip Glass, live from the stage of Berlin’s Deutsches Theater!
The Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative is an exciting international mentoring program that brings together emerging and master artists from seven disciplines (cinema, literature, theater, music, dance, fine arts, and architecture) for a year of collaboration and creative exchange. The program culminates in the Rolex Arts Weekend, a two-day arts festival welcoming guests from around the world to a series of public events showcasing the work perfected by the mentor-protégé pairs. This year’s Rolex Arts Weekend takes place on February 3 and 4 in the dynamic cultural capital of Berlin, and features the seven mentor-protégé pairs of the 2016-2017 initiative.
