(FR)

Gran Torso & In iij.Noct.

Location: Alte Oper

Choreography

Every year, the Music Festival of the Alte Oper focuses on an important piece of music that changed the world – this year, it is Beethoven’s String Quartet Opus 131. Mousonturm is presenting Xavier Le Roy’s Gran Torso & In iij. Noct. in the Mozart Saal of the Alte Oper and DD Dorvillier’s Danza Permanente at Mousonturm itself. Gran Torso deconstructs Lachenmann’s eponymous piece into its elements: sounds and movements, actions and repose, activities and silence. The second part of the evening – Georg Friedrich Hass‘ string quartet In iij.Noct. will be played in complete darkness.
