Eric Sleichim, Hans Op de Beeck & Muziektheater Transparant

At the centre of a small arena stands a man. He tells us an improbable life story, surrounded by musicians who support, colour and comment on his tragic tale. Amongst them sits a mysterious woman. Is she his guardian angel, his conscience, or his long lost daughter?

Soprano Claron McFadden and actor Dirk Roofthooft are flanked by the saxophone quartet BL!NDMAN in this partially-narrated, partially-sung tale, which draws musical inspiration from the 15^th century Missa Gaudeamus by Josquin des Prez.
For this new creation, visual artist Hans Op de Beeck and composer Eric Sleichim are collaborating for the first time.
