What a moth is to light is a live electronic performance composed around my Lightingale controller and stage design / a light installation by the artist Gosia Lehmann. The piece tells the story of a moth drawn to the bright lights of the city and then toward a single window. As the moth flies toward it, it becomes less able to resist its pull. Soon, the moth finds itself inside a paper lampshade, where it flutters around, utterly transfixed and confused by the overwhelming, iridescent glow.
What a moth is to light was premiered at Unternehmen Mitte in Basel, Switzerland, in early 2024.
