Nenia: Lessons in Farewells
Het Collectief feat. Katharina Smets
Nenia: Lessons in Farewells is a production at the intersection of music, audio and theatre. Following the success of the production and podcast Misia, Revue Blanche is teaming up again with the audio artist Katharina Smets for this new project. Nenia – literally ‘song for the dead’ – enquires into loss. How do you deal with the death of a loved one? What does it mean to go on living in the presence of absence? Does hope reside in memory, in the arts, in the encounter with the other? With this and other questions, Revue Blanche enters the borderland between a concert, audio documentary and narrative, between dream and parable, darkness and light. The composer Frederik Neyrinck tackles Orphic repertoire, from Claudio Monteverdi and Luigi Rossi to Christoph Willibald Gluck and from Franz Schubert to Hector Berlioz.
There will be a free introduction at 14:00.
