The question of what our society will be like in the future was familiar to Ludwig van Beethoven as well. He would surely have been fascinated by today’s climate issues. Zefiro Torna takes a new look at Ludwig van Beethoven’s repertoire linked to the theme of nature versus humanity, society and science, from his Symphony in F major, the Pastoral Symphony, to the song cycle An die ferne Geliebte. Zefiro Torna has teamed up for this project with SEAD, an international transdisciplinary network of artists, scientists, engineers and activists. PAST >| ORALE is an installation concert in which computers, plants and humans enter into a symbiotic relationship. A revolutionary concert based on the work of a revolutionary composer.
