Second showing! Persepolis: Troy 2025 by Iannis Xenakis x Micah Silver | Aug. 30

Date: Saturday, August 30, 2025 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM - Experience a seminal work of 20th-century sound art—reframed as an immersive 55-minute installation-performance. Composed in 1971 for a ritual performance amid the ruins of the ancient city of Persepolis, Iran, this eight-channel work invoked fire, movement, and night sky as a sonic act of resistance. At EMPAC, it resounds in a different kind of temple—one built not to glorify power, but to listen. No stage. No performers. Just you and the architecture vibrating with sound.
