Phoenix City 2021 (Reprise)

Phoenix City 2021 (Reprise) is an adaptation of Phoenix City 2021, reconfigured from the 24-minute gallery work. The piece features a complete rework of the original soundtrack by Abul Mogard, featuring adaptations from Mozart’s Requiem. Synopsis: In 2017 Coventry was announced to follow Hull as the next UK City of Culture. The announcement prompted the green light on a number of city centre developments in Coventry, including a new train station, swimming pool and a revamped shopping precinct, with plans for a Very Light Rail system advancing in the background. Phoenix City 2021 (Reprise) examines the UK City of Culture award’s ‘city arisen from the ashes’ narrative in a journey through decaying modernist architecture, burning architectural models, gleaming student accommodation high-rises.
