A work-river where the composer records “music, text, gesture and action”:
“One of Stockhausen’s major projects has been to make music visible, to make visible what is invisible”, notes Maxime Pascal, musical director of Le Balcon, who has set himself the goal of giving the entire cycle at the rate of one opera per year.
After a Mardi resounding, a Thursday radiant and a formidable Saturdaythe ensemble proposes to live in Lille a sparkling Friday of light. For this confrontation between Lucifer and Eve, between clarity and darkness, between earthly music and the silences of the cosmos, we will see instrumentalists become actors, a choir of demonic children opposed to an orchestra of angelic children, a vast cabinet of sound curiosities…
And much more ! Between extraordinary experience and performance, between ceremony and happening, this Friday reserves for the spectator an exceptional musical and theatrical moment, a total spectacle where the unprecedented meets the unheard of.
