HARAWI

The Song cycle Harawi, chant d’amour et de mort by Olivier Messiaen is rarely performed because of the technical demands placed on the performers. This afternoon is the exception in the form of a special adaptation by choreographer Marta Reig Torres. In collaboration with soprano Charlotte Riedijk, pianist Ellen Corver and dance students from Codarts, songs are sung about the stars, the world, life, love, and death. The choreography gives shape to the contrasting worlds of heaven and earth, body and spirit, imagination and reality.
