| Franz Schubert´s
“Winterreise” engages with its audience in a new and unexpected form:
in a creative encounter with Schubert’s masterpiece. Matthias Goerne,
”the voice of perfection” (Le Figaro), pianist Markus Hinterhäuser and
South African director, set designer and theatre artist William
Kentridge joined forces on stage and traced newly imagined, deeply
moving images. In short animated films, Kentridge visualises Goerne’s
and Hinterhäuser’s sonic contribution. A memorable meeting “of
melancholy and magic.” (La Marseillaise). “Mr. Kentridge’s 24
stop-action films – made up of animated ink drawings and collages –
offer a visually mesmerizing and thought-provoking commentary on
Schubert’s song cycle.” (New York Times). “There is an unusual
robustness to Matthias Goerne´s wanderer, infused by the virile beauty
of his powerful baritone.” |
