ONE THOUSAND PIECES
Like light refracted through stained glass, Alejandro Cerrudo’s One Thousand Pieces shimmers between clarity and mystery, reforming in a mesmerizing dance of unity. To the music of Philip Glass performed live by the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, and inspired by the visions of Marc Chagall’s America Windows, this dreamscape unfolds – fluid and ever-shifting, a reflection on art and love. Radiant water hues become a fleeting reflection of something greater, shaping expressions of transformation and the endless mosaic of human connection.
