CRATAEGI - live performance

Описание: In Danish, this butterfly is called “Hvidtjørnens Hvidvinge” or “Sortåret Hvidvinge” (Black-veined White). Imagine a white butterfly with a wingspan of 50 to 65 mm. The body is entirely black, and the wings are white with strongly marked dark veins.
CRATAEGI is a symbiotic audiovisual work by Nes Lerpa and Ejnar Kanding, featuring soloist David Hildebrandt on percussion and video by photographer Kim Dang Trong.
This video is a recording of a live performance of CRATAEGI, which took place in the Concert Hall at The Royal Danish Academy of Music on October 10, 2025. Both the concert and the video are part of an Artistic Research (KUV) project by Ejnar Kanding at the Academy. This video was recorded, edited, mixed and mastered by Tonmeister Ana Babić.
