Claire-Obscure: light and gloom, sound and silence, life and death... These are the extremes of a single phrasing, a single breathing: everything exists in the space that separates them; everything is consumed in that very space, where, once again, Micha van Hoecke finds the germ of his invention, breathing life into a new creation that feeds on the suggestion of contraries. He plunges into the depths of the music of Schubert, Der Tod und Maiden (orchestrated by Mahler) and of Schönberg, Verklärte Nacht. These two works encompass the extremes, the beginning and the end of one emotional atmosphere, the expressive urge that infuses Romanticism, from Schubert’s fresh melancholy to the worn-out solitude of a crepuscular world.
