Perihelion

Mariam Gviniashvili

Programme notes

This piece is largely inspired by the forces in space that are unimaginable on a human scale. As a metaphorical journey, it also begins with the immense expenditure of energy required to leave Earth and enter space. The journey ends at perihelion, the point closest to the sun.
