Circuit des Yeux Live at Greenwood Cemetery

Graveyard Shift proposes a new way of interacting with the space of the cemetery by activating it through sight, sound, and movement. This performance program features commissions taking place at and in collaboration with Brooklyn’s historic Green-Wood Cemetery, where the storied landscape and monuments are used as reference points for producing site-specific works.

On June 7th, 2022, Chicago-based experimental songwriter Circuit des Yeux performed alongside Brooklyn-based composer and producer Faten Kanaan for the fourth installment of Graveyard Shift. In her 10-year career as Circuit des Yeux, Chicago-based vocalist, composer, and singer-songwriter Haley Fohr has grown into one of America’s most successful efforts to connect the personal to the universal. She is most distinctly identified by her 4-octave voice and unique style of 12-string guitar. Her recent works include critically acclaimed album Reaching For Indigo (2017), released on Drag City Records, and -io (2021), released on Matador Records.

This project is supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Program in Public Understanding of Science and Technology, bridging the two cultures of science and the arts.
